Overview

Excerpt from The Manual Arts for Elementary Schools: Drawing, Design, Construction The work given in this book is not arranged according to any special scheme of work, and in many cases the exercises taken up are so independently planned that they may be used in almost any order. The first part of the book is devoted to wood-working and the latter part to thin metal-working. Practice in using tools for the mere sake of practice is not considered worth while, as, for instance, simply sawing for the sake of learning to saw. It is considered very much better to use the tools in making objects even while learning the various operations. The work, therefore, begins with projects instead of exercises. These projects bring the tool operations into use as nearly as seems possible in the order of their ease in execution and understanding.
