From a class-room educational/inspirational series entitled "Hope of a Nation Poster Series," these images, each with a sub-heading such as "judgment", "health", "industry" and "neatness" are filled with little moral messages for America's children. Each in three or four colors, they are a junior version of the work incentive posters produced by Charles Mather out of Chicago. Each color image is accompanied by a black and white sheet with images meant to spark classroom discussion on the topic. From an original set of 40, five images are missing.
