Material: Four sheets of gray cardboard 22 in. x 28 in.; one yard of red cambric; paste and pictures.

Bisect each side of one sheet of cardboard, and connect the dots by two lines which cross in the center of the cardboard. Cut with a very sharp knife. (This will divide the large sheet into four small pieces, 11 x 14.)

Do the same with the other three sheets.

Arrange and mount the pictures on fourteen of the pieces. (Fig. 1.)

Cut fourteen pieces of cambric, 2x11, and one piece 3x11. Crease this latter piece lengthwise into three equal parts. (Fig. 2.)

Crease the fourteen pieces 2 x 11 in half, lengthwise. Machine-stitch these fourteen pieces to the middle section of the piece of cambric which is 3 in. x 11 in.

Stitch the fourteen pieces along the lengthwise crease. The pieces should be stitched close together, (c, Fig. 3.)

Paste one cardboard into each of the fourteen folds of cambric so that an inch of cloth is on each side of every cardboard. Paste one cover inside of a; the other cover inside of b,

Cut corners and words "Art Book" from red cardboard or paper and paste upon the cover. (Fig. 4.)

Note. Children cannot cut the cardboard, nor make the binding. This work must be done by the teacher. Selecting, arranging and pasting the pictures, also pasting the cardboard into the binding, can be done by individual children at odd times. This book furnishes an excellent means of keeping pictures which are needed in various studies during the year. In pasting the cardboard into the binding care should be taken that each piece fits close to the stitching.
