6 Visual Education be constantly informed of the status of the movement. This department should serve as a valuable means to that end. We believe that the future awaiting the present efforts toward visual education will be more brilliant than the dreams of its most ardent devotees. Undoubtedly, much of the prophecy now being uttered so freely on all sides will prove to have been either false or gravely misdirected. But the future will come — as the future always does — and it will bring to American education great benefit or untold harm according as it is moulded by the sound judgments of educational experts or by the bungling hands of enthusiastic tyros. "Visual Education" is at the service of the former, to be freely used in any and all ways that the best interests of the cause shall dictate. "This picture tells me in an instant what would be spread over ten printed pages." Turgenev. "Visual Education presents the most promising avenue of approach to the final solution of the great problem of a truly universal education." Bagley.
