This is the only book devoted solely to the history of art instruction in grades one through twelve in public schools in the United States. Attention is given to cultural and social conditions, particularly in art and education, and to major influences and developments rather than to comprehensive detail about local schooling throughout the nation. Extensive appendices provide reprints of pages from manuals for teachers and pupils, examples of student drawing, programs for teacher preparation, reports on art education, etc. The book is 11 x 8 1/2" horizontal, with 288 pp. (two-column text, 188 pp.; nineteenth century reprints, 128 pp.; notes, 24 pp.).
