Discussion of the Toy Jury on submitted toys will
center around, first, the value of the toys as tools to the
children in their schemes of play, and second, around the art
value. Both these points will entail much examination and thought.
The first will involve fundamentally the subject of education,
and the second, the technique of art as it is expressed through
drawing, color and design, but the decision in regard to
models for manufacture finally can not rest on either of these
fundamental points. It will hinge on whether or not the models
selected are practical for production and whether they can be
marketed at a price which will cover cost of manufacture.
The attention of the pupils will be directed to the factory and
school buildings and the importance of making them a pleasant
workplace and an acquisition to the neighborhood in which they are
situated. The problem of noise from machinery and dirt and
dust from fuel will be taken up as subjects demanding generous
consideration.
_Sixth: Literature and History._ Authentic accounts and
inspirational stores of industrial life, especially of the lumber,
the woodworking, and the toy industry will be gathered by the
pupils and the teachers. Special excursions, investigations, or
general observations casually or unexpectedly made by the pupils
and teachers will be turned to literary use or historical record.
