Excerpt from Educational Handwork
Each course outlined 1s merely a suggestive one, but it is hoped that thoughtful teachers may find sufficient within the limits of this volume to enable them to introduce some or all of the several branches of the subject as herein considered. If a beginning be made, the ingenuity and inventive skill alike of teachers and pupils will enable each branch to he. Carried far beyond the exercises given in these pages. This is especially true of the design and pattern work, the scope for originality of thought and execution being practically unlimited in this interesting and attractive form of hand-and-eye Training.
The author is greatly indebted to Mrs. S. B. Patterson, of the Kinder garten Training School at Truro, n.s., for many valuable suggestions and practical help in the revision of the chapters on the Primary work. The advanced portion is chiefly the result 'of the author's experience as a teacher and organizer of Manual Training in the schools of England and Canada.
