DRA'PER, ANDREW SLOAN (1848-1913), an 

 American educator whose influence was felt 

 from common schools to university, was born 

 at Westford, N. Y. He received his education 

 in the public schools and in the Boys' Academy 

 in Albany. In 1871 he was graduated from 

 the Albany Law School. He served a term in 

 the state legislature in 1881, in 1886 was elected 

 superintendent of public instruction for New 

 York state, then for two years beginning in 

 1892 was city superintendent of schools at 

 Cleveland, O., where he reorganized the school 

 system. He resigned this position to become 

 president of the University of Illinois in 1894. 

 That institution erected twelve buildings during 



his administration, and the number of students 

 increased from 750 to 3,900. 



In 1904 when the two state educational de- 

 partments were united in New York he was 

 chosen state commissioner of education. Dr. 

 Draper's achievements during this term of office 

 included the completion of the $4,000,000 state 

 educational building at Albany, the enactment 

 of the law providing supervision for rural 

 schools, the reorganization of the normal 

 schools, the organization of the state examina- 

 tion board and the enactment of a law for 

 state scholarships. In 1902 he became a mem- 

 ber of the board of the United States Indian 

 Commissioners. He was the author of the 

 Rescue of Cuba, American Schools and Amer- 

 ican Citizenship and of numerous published 

 addresses. 



DRAWING. In its larger sense, drawing 

 means the graphic expression of an idea. This 

 expression may be pictorial, as in representative 

 drawing, or it may be in the form of a plan 

 or design, as in architecture and ornament. 

 Frequently the term has been used to cover 

 those subjects which were formerly included 

 in the art courses of the public schools. When 

 these courses were restricted to nature drawing, 

 object drawing, perspective, water color hand- 

 ling and that phase of design which we call 

 composition, the narrowness of the name draw- 

 ing did not disturb us. But as changing ideals 

 in public education forced a change in the 

 aims and methods of art teaching in the 

 schools, the term was plainly too limited to 

 cover the field, and a new term was employed. 

 Under the head INDUSTRIAL ART in these vol- 

 umes will be found a comprehensive course in 

 art instruction for public schools, covering the 

 modern phases of design and color, in their 

 relation to the drawing and arrangement of all 

 shapes and forms. B.S. 



DREAMS, dreemz, those fantastic, shadowy 

 mind-pictures which may crowd into a fleeting 

 moment of sleep a train of events which might 

 cover hours or even days if they really hap- 

 pened. Since earliest times, there have been 

 various theories to explain dreams, and they 

 have formed a favorite theme of the poets. 



In ancient times, and by the Indians, it was 

 believed that dreams were direct messages from 

 the gods or from the infernal regions, or, as in 

 the Scriptures, direct from God, to be inter- 

 preted and acted upon. This belief is still 

 held by the superstitious, but scientists attrib- 

 ute dreams to natural causes, as Swift says in 

 his poem On Dreams:
