Preface

The art of expressing ideas by means of drawing is a power of great value and usefulness. We learn many things by observation, but how much more could be accomplished if we were taught to observe correctly and express our impressions upon paper by drawing.

In response to the demand for such work in schools this “First Book” of “The Graded Drawing System,” was planned and published.

Its purpose is to create a tendency toward close obser¬ vation; to give a knowledge of drawing; to help teachers to develope useful, busy work; to aid in the study of mathe¬ matics and writing, and to prepare pupils for any higher work in drawing.

The opening of the book is shown; the full text loads in the reader.
