Children's Art Month Three years ago, The Crayon,

Water Color and Craft Institute, Inc. inaugurated Children's Art Month to focus national attention on the art of children and the importance of art in the lives of our American boys and girls. For us, importance of art is obvious, but this specific time period pre- sents the opportunity to offer a massive communication program to those for whom it is not obvious. We speak frequently about public misunderstanding, apathy, and even resistance to art programs, yet without a concerted effort to exhibit good examples of child art and provide information about the purposes and values of child art, there is little opportunity to change the status quo. Posi- tive changes will come about through the processes of educating and informing parents and friends about our activities in the various art programs throughout the nation.

Each of us must approach this problem in his own way, but each of us should make an energetic attempt to help the public under- stand and appreciate the art of children and its values. There are many activities to make better understanding possible and from the successful experiences of many of you, The Crayon, Water Color and Craft Institute, Inc. has pre- pared an extensive listing of sug- gestions which is available from

its office at 420 Lexington Ave- nue, New York 17, New York.

It is interesting to note that as this venture has proceeded in the past several years, the Executive Secretaries of the NAEA have been regularly consulted regard- ing the desirability and educational soundness of the various activities. I personally feel that this effort has been extremely worth- while, and that much progress has resulted from it. At least twenty state governors issued statements last year on behalf of children's art during Children's Art Month. With this fine start, I invite each of you to accept the professional challenge of keeping the programs and purposes of art education before the public eye and mind.

Edward L. Mattill, President National Art Education Association.

New Branch Head, USOE On July 22, 1963, Miss Kath-

ryn Bloom was appointed Direc- tor of the Cultural Affairs Branch. Miss Bloom is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and has taken graduate work in art at the University of Minnesota and at the Institute of Fine Arts of New York University. She taught art at the Junior-Senior High School at Owatonna, Minnesota, from September 1944 to June 1945, when she became a lecturer at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. In July of 1947 she joined the staff of the Toledo Museum of Art where she served as an instructor and later as Supervisor of Art Education. In June 1957, Miss Bloom became Consultant on the Arts for the Association of the Junior Leagues of America. In this position, her principal activities and responsibilities included advisory and consultant services to community and statewide groups throughout the United States, evaluating and recom- mending procedures t h r o u g h which existing cultural programs could be improved or extended or

new cultural services or institu- tions such as museums, communi-

In addition to the Director, the original staffing of the Cultural Affairs Branch includes a Music Education Specialist, a Museum Education Specialist, a Research Assistant, and a supporting cleri- cal staff.

A Letter From A. B. Dick Co. Mr. Charles M. Dorn Executive Secretary National Art Education Association of the NEA 1201-16th Street NW

Washington 6, D. C.

Dear Mr. Dorn:

Recently we received several letters from members of your or-

ganization concerning a recent advertisement that we ran in TIME magazine. The advertisement shows children "coloring-in" duplicated copies in an art class.

The teachers who wrote to us

pointed out the adverse effect that this method of teaching has on the creativity and individuality of our youngsters. Also, the teachers who wrote in suggested that this matter would be brought to the attention of the executive committee of your organization. Per-

haps rightly so. In order to clarify this matter

for you, we would like to offer this explanation about this advertisement.

The current series of advertise- ments for A. B. Dick Company, of which this was one, was designed primarily for one purpose: to communicate to the general busi- ness and professional community the broad range of copying and

duplicating services offered by A. B. Dick Company.

To illustrate this idea we are

featuring two widely varied appli- cations in each advertisement. One application shows the capability of A. B. Dick fluid duplica- tors or mimeograph machines to

produce small quantities quickly

and easily. The contrasting application will typically feature A. B. Dick offset equipment or Video-

graph electronic systems pro- ducing large quantities of high- quality copies at high speeds.

It was not our intention to sug- gest an improper teaching method in this advertisement, but merely to show the capability of the

equipment. In the final analysis, the teachers themselves make the decisions as to how our equipment is used.

In retrospect, we must agree with the art teachers who wrote us. The implication that creativity and imaginativeness should be stifled is an erroneous one, for

creativity and individuality are the foundations of American busi- ness, art, and education.

A. B. Dick Company is proud of its relationship with the Na- tional Education Association. We have appeared at your conven- tions and have worked closely with your organizations for many years.

We hope that this advertisement has not blemished this rela-

tionship. In the future you may be sure

that we will check our advertise- ments for their technical accuracy and that full consideration for

approved teaching methods will be given.

We further hope that this letter will clarify the Company's position with respect to this matter.

Signed,

James W. Head Sales Promotion Manager Azograph-Spirit
