A 1919 essay urging American industrial arts and handicrafts to raise their standards of design and workmanship in the postwar period. Bach points to the growth of the American dyestuffs industry during the war as a model, warns of renewed European competition, and calls for design schools, museum use, and craftsmen who guide manufacturers by example. A short piece by G. W. follows, asking club members to take responsibility for American decorative art standards.
