ways machinery cannot pursue. It is this that is bringing the Art-element to
the front in education, in the occupations and industries.
A vigorous, healthy simplicity that delights in being itself, and that
mirrors the life and conditions of the present, is asserting itself everywhere
and must largely affect education.
While, therefore, this Committee has to deal with the subjects of Manu[al]
and Art Training in general education, they do not feel that these subjects can
receive proper treatment except as they are viewed in their relation to the
whole of modern education, nor would they have these subjects presented as
in any way antagonistic to the highest and best literary culture. It is the
belief of this Committee that the education of the past has been sadly defective,
from its failure to recognize the immense humanity that there is in the
industrial and aesthetic studies, and that only as public education incorporates
these branches among its fundamentals, can it give real culture.
This Committee has in charge the general discussion of the following
themes:
I. How to introduce into general education and the study of things, the
Art Idea.
II. The value and need of Art Training per se for all youth.
In the consideration of these problems, the Committee desires to promote
free discussion, exchange of views, and the presentation by paper or orally of
the results of experience.
Precisely because the Art-spirit is the primal element of education, is
ethical, ideal, impersonal, it follows that it is the uniting universal thread,
which, when grasped, will supply the missing links between Kindergarten,
Common School, Technical Institute and University.
We therefore cordially invite all who are interested to cooperate with us,
and contribute of their experience and observation.
