Synopsis
Excerpt from When Mother Lets Us Carpenter: A Book Telling Boys and Girls How to Make Many Useful and Attractive Articles With Few Tools and at a Small Expense
TO develop the child's creative faculty; to fur nish a healthful diversion, both mental and physi cal; to encourage the making Of useful things, are the Obj ects of this little book.
It is unique in two ways. The customary work ing drawings Of the assembled article, with their numerous and confusing dimension lines, have been omitted. Each piece Of wood, however, is delineated separately on a series Of squares, which not only display the necessary measurements, but show the relation Of the various lines all at a glance. The idea Of proportion is thus accentuated and in a way that would be impossible were the dimensional data displayed numerically instead of graphically.
