Contrary to what Mr. Hicks implies in the American Scholar, boarding schools do not exist as holding grounds for uncooperative and malfunctioning adolescents. Dauber argues, "Sure, if adolescents are really awful, then maybe, just maybe, Hicks' beloved boarding schools have some reason for sticking around."

Picasso's original contribution stemmed from his first viewing, earlier in 1907, of African masks and fetishes at a Paris museum.
