Excerpt from Drawing in the Public Schools: A Manual for Teachers These notes are arranged to give more complete directions to teachers than those contained in the chapter on Drawing in the Public Schools of the book On Freehand Drawing, Light and Shade, and Freehand Perspective. When that chapter was written, its most important part had not been proved by experiment, and attention was not particularly called to it. This book also contained much theory which the teacher in the lower grades may not wish to study. These notes present the essentials to the public school teacher, without a discussion of perspective theory, which those who wish may find in the book first published.
