Excerpt from Coping Saw WorkWe had seen children of this age use a coping saw successfully in lviiss Langley's classes at the School of Education, Chicago University, and in lwr. W. J. Standley's work in the Y. M. C. A. Day classes, at Portland, Oregon. Our problem was to devise a suitable equipment for the regular teacher to use with forty-eight children in the ordinary classroom, and a course of work, teachable in her inexperienced hands, of real merit, educationally, in the development of the child. After experimenting a term or two in different schools, the following equip ment and course was devised. The unusual interest and delight Of the children in this work, together with the success of the teacher in pre senting it, led to its adoption for all the fourth-grade rooms in the city, about fifty in number.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
