Excerpt from The Graphic Arts: Modern Men and Modern Methods There are art schools that are taking up practical art and craft education, and there are artists who are teaching practically their trades, but many are doing harm to students, telling them how to make big money quick, and that is the aim of the people of this country - ignorant that art is the most difficult and most underpaid profession in the world. It is, however, for money that the immigrant comes, and the American still exists here. They know no better, but art is dying of thirst in a dry desert. And we have no graphic art and craft school properly equipped in the country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
