Abstract

This chapter focuses on the relevance of art in secondary schools. Drawing at the beginning of the century was styled an accomplishment. In high-class schools, it was an extra, but in public elementary schools, it was regarded as absolutely essential. A good course in a preparatory school enables a boy to benefit by the advanced teaching that is given in some few of the great public schools, where the teaching of art is becoming a recognized factor in education and is being conducted upon more or less enlightened lines, but too little time is given to the subject. Art and its great educational value are becoming more widely recognized throughout the civilized world, and the day is not far distant when it will fall into line with all other school subjects. The qualifications of the art teacher are not what one would desire in a secondary school.
