FARM SHOP PRACTICE, Mack M. Jones, hardcover, illustrated, stated first edition, 14th printing, 1939. BOOK CONDITION: fair. The text block is generally in very good condition with no marks, but pages 219-222 have been torn and detached, but they are still present and could be taped back. The pages and endpapers are age-toned. No bookplate or signature of a prior owner. Not a library book or remainder. The gray-green cloth boards are in fairly good condition (bumped corners, spots, discolored areas, shelf wear). 9 x 6 1/4, 315 pages, 23 ounces XX [From the PREFACE] This book has been prepared to meet an increasing need for a text in farm shopwork that deals simply and directly, yet comprehensively, with tools and basic tool processes. It is recognized more and more that for satisfactory achievement in shopwork the student must study the subject systematically, much as he would study any other school subject, as well as work with his hands on practical jobs or projects in the shop. Because of the wide variety of mechanical work done on the farm and the multiplicity of jobs or projects available for practice work in the school shop, a well-organized series of lessons on tools and tool processes is needed to serve as a nucleus around which the course can be centered and to serve as a guide to keep the work definitely related to fundamental principles and to the most important phases of the work. This book is planned to permit all possible flexibility in its use. It treats tools and tool processes separately and apart from any particular set of jobs or projects, for it is hardly possible to use any one set under different local school conditions. The book can be used, therefore, in connection with any jobs that meet particular local needs. The material is not arranged in any definite teaching sequence, for there probably is no one absolutely correct arrangement, except for one particular set of conditions, and then for one time only. Probably the best way to use the book is to assign certain topics on tools and tool processes, giving as reference certain sections of the book. The topics may then be discussed much as topics in any other school subject. It will usually be profitable to give demonstrations also. In most schools it is possible for only a few students immediately to put into practice in the shop the principles covered in a discussion or demonstration, mainly because of a lack of tools and equipment to accommodate the whole class on the same kind of work at the same time. It is very desirable, therefore, that the student review in the text or a suitable reference the main points or principles of a new subject just before he starts laboratory work on it. Also, as he proceeds and difficulties or doubts arise, he should refer to the text or reference for help. Self-help thus rendered develops resourcefulness in the student and is better than too much reliance upon the instructor. Furthermore, it is not possible for the instructor to give individual instruction to all students of a large class at just the time needed. …
