They have been gleaned from many sources, and are the common heritage of all who love to write them anew and hear them again. Only the words belong to the story

From the Introduction: "Ability to draw easily and well on the blackboard is a power which every teacher of children covets. Such drawing is a language which never fails to hold attention and awaken delighted interest. It has been considered impossible for most of us, because we have never done it. It has been strongly recommended, but no one has really shown us how. a book like this which does show how, step by step, from the first practice strokes to completed and effective sketches, will be everywhere welcome. No one can follow the plain suggestions given without appreciating the possibilities of chalk and charcoal for ordinary school-room illustration, and finding in himself a steady development of power to sketch on the blackboard." -- Walter Sargent. This is not a reprint of facsimile, but the original, hardcover book published by Milton Bradley Company in 1908.
