Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Catalog of Wall Pictures: Loan Collection of the Division of Visual Instruction
The whole number of pictures now in the collection is 555; the number of subjects represented is 285. As there are nearly 1000 high schools and about comm-on district schools in this State entitled to borrow, it is apparent that the collection can not serve the purpose of supplying all these schools continuously with wall pictures; nor should this be the purpose of the collection. Observation tells us that in most cases a school is not disposed to rely altogether upon the State collection. When a temporary loan has been recalled, the pictures are missed to such an extent that the school finds some means of securing for its permanent possession equally good ones with which to decorate what would otherwise be unattractive walls. The loan collection first of all stimulates an interest in a refined decoration of schoolrooms; in the second place, it does something to familiarize the schools with pleasing and appropriate subjects.
