Excerpt from Industrial Education: A Guide to Manual TrainingThe lessons in this volume were originally pre pared as a guide for the instructors and pupils in the Industrial department of the schools with which the authors are connected. A complete system of Manual Training having been organized and put in operation, it became necessary that it should be formulated for the convenience of the classes, and for the guidance of the instructors in charge of them.It was not supposed that there would be a demand for the publication of this course in Manual Train ing. But the subject of Industrial Education has been rapidly growing in the minds of teachers and others interested in the development and growth of educational methods. Inquiries came with increased frequency as to what was being done in the J ames town schools, and whether it was practicable to make Manual Training a feature of education in the public schools. It was thought best to make no reply until actual tests, in all the grades from the Primary to the High Schools, had been made.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
