Art And The New Leisure, Pauline Johnson Nov 1934

Art And The New Leisure, Pauline Johnson

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Rightly controlled this will add to the happiness and welfare not only of the person concerned but to civilization as a whole. This need will be met in many ways--through sports, amusements, self-development, etc., but I wonder how many have realized the place that fine arts can be made to fill at this time.
