	Arts and Crafts movement Summary
		In the United States, the term Arts and Crafts movement is often used to denote the style of interior design that prevailed between the dominant eras of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, or roughly the period from 1910 to 1925.
		In fact, the proponents of the Arts and Crafts movement were against the principle of a division of labour, which in some cases could be independent of the presence or absence of machines.
		In the United States, it spawned complementary and sympathetic American craft movements such as the "mission oak" style furniture embraced by Gustav Stickley, the Roycroft community, the "Prairie School" of Frank Lloyd Wright, the Country Day School movement, the bungalow style of houses popularised by Greene and Greene, and the contemporary studio craft movement.

		In fact, the conflict was perennial, and one day some of the combatants on upper Mount Vernon St., who had amassed an enormous number of snowballs behind one of their high brick walls, took by surprise and treacherously attacked a party of the enemy not in war paint.
		He compared the school with other schools “...where every boy’s hand was against his masters, and where, instead of the frank and friendly relation between master and pupil which we have tried to establish, there has been the relationship of keeper and kept, of stern and sometimes harsh mastery over unwilling and reluctant obedience.”
		Called “Country Day” by most, and known among its boys as “The Country Day School for Greater Boys of Boston,” the School moved to Chestnut Hill in a 1940 merger with Rivers Country Day School, an “open air” school designed to thwart city illnesses.
