Excerpt from The School Printshop
The School Printshop had its inception in the classroom. It is the outgrowth of teaching classes of elementary-school pupils, high-school pupils, after-school volunteer pupils among whom the work was more or less of a vocational nature, and college students who were fitting themselves to teach printing. It is designed primarily for these groups of students - a book to be owned by the pupil and to be used by him as a shop manual. There is need for a book to supplement the oral instruction, one to which the pupil can refer as questions arise and problems confront him. It is not expected that this book will take the place of the teacher, although a pupil can make progress with no other than printed instruction.
Not everything pertaining to the broad subject of printing, nor indeed to any one branch of it, can or should be taught outside of a commercial printshop or a highly specialized school of printing. It is necessary then to select the printshop material that is suitable for teaching purposes in schools. In making such a selection for this manual I have included only topics essential to a proper understanding by the pupil and basic to the subject of printing.
