This is a book specializing in art appreciation of our home, body, clothing and environment. The
book is designed for use by boys and girls of junior high school age. At this period, young peo-
ple often prefer gaudy decorations, cheap ornaments and loud ties and show other signs of poor
judgment in dress. One of the most worth-while features is given in the appendix. There are
found suggestions for correlating art both in actual classroom and in the form of projects, clubs
and assembly programs.
