FOREWORD
It is evident to the most casual observer that the use of cement
and concrete has developed into a most important building
material--undoubtedly the most important of the age. Industrial and
vocational educators have recognized this importance and thousands of
school children have received instruction in its use and application to
objects of utility. Its use has been the subject of many books, and the
reason for the issuing of this book is to present in printed form the
use of color cement for the decoration or surface enrichment of cement
and concrete objects. We heretofore have thought of cement in terms of
rough surfaces and crude retaining walls, little thinking that beautiful
patterns and textures are possible with proper combinations of color
with cement, presenting possibilities for producing art tiles, pottery,
and decorations of a high art quality.
