Excerpt from Education, Vol. 17: A Monthly Magazine, Devoted to the Science, Art, Philosophy and Literature of Education, September, 1896-June, 1897 Portraits form another important class. Portraits of eminent Americans must be considered before the portraits of eminent foreigners, living or dead. Here again are subjects more or less familiar. Longfellow and Holmes may not be as well known as Blaine or Cleveland, but almost every teacher, if properly dis posed to do so, could employ such photographs most usefully in quite elemental y courses of study. It is, perhaps, needless to add that portraits of the world's great men are as useful as those of America, and a very extended list of illustrations may be chosen in this field. Familiar subjects have many advantages over unfamiliar ones, be their relative artistic merits what they may. A child will take a greater interest in a picture that represents something he him self knows of or has heard about than one utterly strange. Views of one's own town, or of notable streets, places or buildings within it have, therefore, a utility of a very high order. From such pictures children will learn something of the value of a photograph they will discuss its resemblance to the actual object and learn to understand that a picture has a real value apart from being something to hang on the wall.
