JACKSON A Recognition of the Value of Pictures in Teaching The author has selected twenty of the world's great pictures and sculptures and interpreted the meaning which the artist intended to convey. People are awakening more and more to the value of works of art in teaching. They are regaining a truer perspective and saner judgment in regard to them. That pictures are of great value in teaching certain forms of knowledge is not now questioned; on the contrary, it is approved and practiced. In view of this, the need arises for careful selection and education of the popular taste. The present work is intended to meet this need.
