Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Beautifying Our Schools
The steadily growing movement in Virginia to beautify the exteriors and interiors of school buildings, and to improve and beautify school grounds, is one of the most hopeful indica tions of our progress.
Preventable ugliness is a sin, and most of it, like most ill health, is preventable. The schoolhouse and schoolyard make a decided impression on children who are very impressionable.
If the school and schoolyard be ugly, the impression is not a good one. If beautiful, the impression is pleasing and ele yating.
