Excerpt from Report of the Proceedings at the Closing Exercises of the School: For the Year Ending June 4th, 1881
I say the one universal language of the globe for the language of the pencil is that one means of expression that is understood by all by drawn figures we can make known our wants to those who cannot comprehend one word of our speech. Words at the best are but arbitrary signs, useless unless we know to what they apply. We realize this fact fully when we hear for the first time words in a strange tongue while the utterances may yet be the veriest common place expressions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a crucial text on the building of the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art. Published in 1881, four years after classes began, this book details the initial years of the institution, the goals of the author, the techniques used to teach students, and the importance of educating everyone in art. The author notes that, despite the rapid development of innovative industrial technology, there remained a need for higher standards of craftsmanship and taste that could only be taught through the study of the arts.
