Andrews'
Noiseless
Kindergarten
Slates, price 45 cents
(ruled, on one
side,
in squares),
contain designs
especially
adapted to
Kindergarten
uses,
which are
not
reproduced here.
These
Slates
and
this book are intended
to amuse
as well
as
instruct children,
and are
suitable
for
use
in
schools
and
families.
All
children
love
to
draw
and
are
continually
copy-
ing on
their
slates
such
simple
pictures
as
they
can
find.
Andrews'
Drawing Slates
supply
them
not
only
with
the
surface
to draw
upon, but with large numbers'of simple and
attract-
ive
pictures for copying.
These
pictures are not
only
pleasing
in
themselves,
but convey
much
interesting
and
useful
information in regard
to
forms
of plants, flowers,
animals,
and architectural and classic
figures and ornaments. They have
been accurately
drawn
by a well known
artist
the plants
and
animals from
nature, and the
classic and architectural
forms
from the
best
authorities
and
carefully engraved
in
outline.
They may
be
relied
upon
as
correct,
and
in connection
with
a
dictionary,
and parents
ready to
answer
or
help
their children find
answers
to
the thousand
questions
which the
pictures will
suggest, will
furnish the means
for
many
hours
of useful and delightful
Holiday
occupation.
As most parents will
wish
to furnish
their children with
the entire series
of pictures,
while some
will
not
desire
to purchase all
the
Slates,
the
Child's
First
Drawing Book
has
been prepared
that
those
who
choose,
by purchasing
one Slate and
the
Drawing
Book,
may
obtain the
whole.
The
child's
best
instructor
in the use
of these
exercises will
be himself.
Give
him
the
slates
and the
book, and
the
opportunity
to
try, and
you
will
be
astonished
at the
result,

Bet*.er
than any other
Kindergarten
Gifis
and

1.
They
are
prepared

more

3.

We
wish
to call attention
to the superior
quality
of
the
Kindergarten
Gifts
and Occupa-
tion
Material,
manufactured
by us.
There
are
experienced
Kindergarteners
who
have
never
seen any
accurate or
properly
made
Kindergarten
Material
They
have.been
compelled
to
work along
with
ill-fitting
Blocks, Tables and
Paper
ruled in
squares
of all
sizes.
Weaving
Material
and Paper
for
Folding and
Cutting
so
irregularly
made
as
to
defy
all
efforts
to
make
or
copy
graceful and
symmetrical designs
Kindergarteners
who have experienced
this difficulty
will, we
feel
sure,
appreciate
the
results of our
efforts to
prepare
Material for
the
Kindergarten
with, which
it
shall
be
possi-
ble to do
satisfactory
work.
They
are not likely,
however,
to
realize how
great those
efforts
have been.
The
soul
of
true
Kindergartning is Accuracy ;
and
Accuracy
is the
most
costly
of
attainments. A
foot rule,
good
enough
for
most purposes,
may be
bought
for
ten
cents
a three inch
rule,
accurate
such
as we use
in
setting
our
tools for
Kindergarten
work
costs
five
dollars.
Similar expense
attends all efforts to
secure
Accuracy
in
any
direction.
We
do not
claim that
our
work is
absolutely perfect
;
paper
will stretch
and
wood will
swell
hut
we
do
claim
that
it is
much better
than any
other
offered
for
sale,
and that it reaches
the
limit
of
Accuracy
possible
in
the materials
of
which it is
made.
It
is
verfectly
satisfactory
