The time that the child need work with
pictures made up of inanimate objects
is question for the teachers judgment.
AS the pupil is not working for the eS-
pecial purpose of improving its drawing,
but as natural and simple outlet for ex-
preston, the degree of perfection is not
the determining point when it may be
given more complicated forms and ami
NAL objects. If it has been able to use
the forms of trees, houses, etc., with free
dom, has been able to make story-tell-
ing medium of what material it has so
far received, the child's inevitable de-
sire for variety and more ambitious SUBJ
jects is to be gratified.
1t has the desire to people the scenes
that it can draw and give life to It's story.
