Excerpt from Handbook in Woodwork and Carpentry, for Teachers and Normal Schools
For the many teachers who are obliged to follow a required course, but who are allowed to introduce supplementary or Optional models under certain conditions, and for others who have more liberty and are able to make such changes as they see fit, this series will be found perfectly adaptable, regardless of the grades taught. To accomplish this, the material has been arranged by topics, which may be used by the teacher irrespective of the sequence, as each topic has to the greatest extent possible been treated independently.
The author is indebted to Dr. George A. Hubbell ph.d., now President of the Lincoln Memorial University, for encouragement and advice in preparing for and planning the series, and to George R. Swain, Principal of the Eastern High School of Bay City, Michigan, for valuable aid in revising the manuscript.
