***EXCERPT: "Here is an analysis of the technics of drawing, by a noted painter, written to serve the parent as well as the teacher. Mr. Beck’s purpose is to free education of the fallacies and restrictions imposed by methods and principles brought in with mass education by people who were not artists. His purpose is to save genius and talent. Mothers, who have not been able to understand the first attempts at expression by their children, will now understand - through this book - and thereby become more important factors in their children’s education. The analogue is made through illumining the developments of the gifted little Romano Dazzi and through other children. Teachers have formed their teaching methods on the theories gained in Normal Schools. Mr. Beck’s book will show them the first analysis of the technics of drawing. In such fashion education will be torn from its complacent routine and made to launch itself into stimulating seas of art. Thus the Normal School will become the centre of the future unified system of art education - with the American Academy in Rome as the head. Through this valuable book, guide to parents and teachers, the child’s potential talent will flower; and art schooling, itself, will increase in effectiveness and character "***
