Excerpt from Raphia and Reed Weaving, Including Also Cardboard and Paper Construction: A Practical Course for Primary and Elementary Schools
The object of this book is to give to class teachers a complete series of models arranged in graded sequence, and extending from the Kindergarten to the grammar grade.
Though well aware that no book can be a substitute for an efficient instructor, efforts have been made to give the operations in minute detail in order to assist those teachers who, untrained in manual work, appreciate its value as an educational factor, and believe that the development of the senses, touch included, and the training of the hand in artisanship, must be the root of mind growth.
This book is the outcome of many years" experience in teaching and study, whereby the need was felt for such a series of elementary models as could be worked out in the class room by the class teacher, and its chief object is to show that hand training should and can be introduced in the Kindergarten and continued, without the usual break, into the High School. Although the models are not arranged in correlation with any particular subject, here may be found the basis from which can be constructed such objects as are adapted to any subject taught. No teacher should feel confined to a certain set of models, yet there must be such a development in the gradation as will make the work easy and delightful to the young pupils, and the articles made of such form and nature, and so systematically arranged, that there will be a steady growth in all phases of the work, and thus the child"s instinct for activity satisfied and cultivated, and pleasure excited in the acquisition of skill.
