ing charcoal drawings which showed
how the work actually evolves and un-

Children, said Dr. Haney. have a
very keen appreciation of art and as
proof of that statement, the museum
in New York City is crowded every

swarms of interested children, who
seem to enjoy taking advantage or
the opportunity of seeing portrayed IN
actual pictures or by means OF sculp-
ture the things they had studied about
in class.
Continuing, Dr. Haney told the teach
crs present how an illustrated story
means far more TO a child than q
straight prose or poetic ,nc does. and u
one would have a picture live IN a child
