the guardianship of 
ladies and gentlemen, 
for the teaching of sim¬ 
ple arts and crafts. His 
idea was rather more 
amplified in a subse¬ 
quent edition of his lit¬ 
tle work, published in 
1880, where he said: 
“ It is greatly to be 
desired that in every 
village or in every 
district of the larger 
towns, ladies and gen¬ 
tlemen able to draw, 
and who are interested 
in providing employ¬ 
ment, or in advancing 
culture among the 
poor, would found lit¬ 
tle societies or schools 
for teaching the arts 
set forth in this book.” 
He then went on to 
explain in detail what 
materials would be 
wanted to start the 
classes and the prob¬ 
able expense. 
It was not long be¬ 
fore his suggestion was 
acted upon, for two 
years later in the pref¬ 
ace to “Art Work 
Manuals,” published 
in New York, he re¬ 
fers to a number of 
rural classes having 
already been estab¬ 
lished as the outcome 
of his first thought. 
In 1884, these classes 
were brought together 
and consolidated 
under the name of 
“The Home Arts and 
Industries Associa¬ 
tion.” Until his death,
