"Leeds, April 23rd: Miss Hermione Unwin gave a bright, pleasant lecture to this branch on "The Training of the Artistic Perception in Young Children." She laid stress on the importance of beginning early to surround children with beautiful objects. The nursery should not be a lumber room, to which pictures and knickknacks too ugly for the drawing room are relegated, nor should children be encouraged to think that their little kindergarten mats and other works of art are really beautiful. Miss Unwin made some useful suggestions and her paper was followed by an interesting discussion.
