"We should like to see the schools becoming, much more than most of them now are, places in which the children surrounded by many examples, old and new, or taste and discrimination - furniture, clocks, fabrics, ceramics, pictures, and books. It should be the objective of every school to do all in its power to add to the beauty of its equipment and environment. . . Much of the beauty in the school's environment should be created by the children themselves and by the care taken in the display of their work. . . Though opportunities and circumstances are very unequal, every school could do something, and in the aggregate the schools could become a strong, perhaps a decisive, influence on public taste."
