Excerpt from The Flush of the Dawn: Notes on Art Education The notes which make up this volume were written at odd times during my first six years as Editor of The School Arts Book. They appeared periodically in that magazine as comments on the passing months, on the work of teachers of drawing and handicraft in our public schools, and on current events in the educational world. They are reprinted in the hope that they still retain a little virtue, and that they may help somebody, somewhere, to keep the mind open, the heart right, and the face.
