Excerpt from Manual Training for Rural Schools
The present trend of education is to train the hand as well as the mind.
There is no question but that the study of the three Rs is as necessary and vital today as ever. Close observers, however, have found that other studies can be added that will make school work more interesting and practical without detracting from the essentials.
Industrial studies are now firmly established in all progressive high schools and many grade schools, and the movement is spreading to the rural schools as rapidly as conditions permit.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents lessons in manual training for rural school students. In a time when industrial studies were becoming a staple of progressive schools, the author recognized the lack of resources and training available to rural educators teaching these subjects. This book presents a solution, providing step-by-step instructions for 20 simple yet practical projects for the classroom. While each project begins with a clear materials list, precise dimensions, and blueprint-style diagrams, they progress in complexity, educating students in fundamental woodworking techniques like measuring, sawing with both a coping saw and a rip saw, and using a jack plane and chisel. This educational text also includes instructions for staining and varnishing projects, along with general tool care and safety tips. This book is a valuable resource that accommodates rural school needs and empowers teachers to facilitate a well-rounded education. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333798970_0
