Excerpt from The Educational Value of Manual Training Consisting of an Examination of the Arguments Presented in the Report of the National Council Committee on Pedagogics at Nashville, July, 1889

There is every indication that the interest in the aims, methods and results of manual training is spreading and deepening. Extravagant notions are being laid aside, and correct and reasonable views are taking their place. Persons who had supposed that there was nothing in it, - that it was only a craze, are finding that there is something in it worthy of consideration and respect. Those wild enthusiasts who claim everything for it are gradually forming a class by themselves quite apart from those who are steadily testing every theory by careful practice.
