The books are numbered, 1-9; laid into each is a second book, an accompanying teacher guide, entitled Teachers Reference and Course of Study, published in 1947. (One book is intended for the teacher and one for the student.) Accompanying these nine sets are three teacher reference guides titled Teachers Reference and Course of Study. The first is labeled "A", "to accompany New Art Education Books I, II, III"; the second is labeled B, and the third C, to accompany Books 4, 5, 6 and 7, 8, 9 respectively. These books contain ideas, instructions and projects for a wide variety of arts and crafts projects for schoolchildren. All nine sets, and the Teachers Reference and Course of Study vols. A-C, are illustrated typically in black and white. Each of the nine New Art Education books and each of the Teachers Reference books have "Mabel Spofford" written in ms., in ink, on the front cover, and some on the title page. Laid into Book I of New Art Education are two TLSs on Stover School Art Service (of Birmingham, Michigan) letterhead, which are promotional and advertising solicitations for art projects and supplies.
