PICTURES IN SCHOOLS.
Money Needed to Garry on York of
Dirt Committee.

An interesting work is that of the art COM
mittee Of the Public Education Association In
decorating the public schools of this city with
pictures which will interest the pupils and helm
to develop their love OF the beautiful. Several
thousand dollars have already been spent by
the friends of the association in placing pictures
and casts upon the walls of the classrooms of
more than a dozen public schools. To carry out
the plans Of the art committee this autumn and
winter in decorating the schoolroons will re-
quire an expenditure Of about $1,000
For the primary grades in the public schools
the pictures usually selected are OF simple sub
tects, such animals, birds, flowers and little
children. For this purpose colored pictures are
best.
The pictures IN the grammar grades are
usually of fine scenery, portraits Of famous men
or photographs Of paintings which are good
artistically and tell an interesting story well
The pictures and decorations in the high
schools chosen almost wholly for their
artistic Value-for example, photographs of the
best paintings and buildings, plaster casts Of
famous statues and reproductions Of drawings
of the masters
TO esta bish in each school large collection Of
pictures, which can be circulated as books are
now, and which be enjoyed by the children
at their leisure in their homes. In Manchester,
England and in several New-York settlements
this plan has worked successfully.
Money is needed by the association to continue
its work of placing pictures where every child
may see and use them. The office of the Public
Education Association is in the United Charities
