content: This is a full-page illustrated article from a periodical entitled The Delineator, published in September 1914. The author, Caryle Ellis, contrasts the modern public schools in American cities with the austere classrooms of a generation earlier. He points out that in addition to central heating, movable table and chairs, the new teaching materials and setting are attractive. There are four color photos of modern classrooms, as well as a boy and girl neatly dressed for school. He concludes that: “We believe they are entitled to more than we had, and will be better mothers and fathers, better friends, and better citizens for it.”
