Excerpt from Illustrated Manual of Hand and Eye Training: On Educational Principles; A Text-Book for Manual Training in Cardboard-Work, Carpentering, Chip-Carving, Met-Work, Modelling, Etc
Bilde das Auge, ube die Hand,
Fest wird der Wille, scharf der Verstand.
[When eye and hand you deftly train,
Firm grows the will and keen the brain.]
I have long felt a growing desire to review the ideas and experiences which have been evolved during the recent movement in favour of Manual Training for boys. The spread of this new educational creed demonstrates the need for some such short but lucid account of its main articles. A statement is needed of the educational value of manual work, of the reasons for and against its adoption, of its historic evolution, and of the practical working out of the principle upon which it is based. Further, the bearings of the subject with regard to teachers and pupils, the different kinds of work and tasks to be set, the materials, tools, and fitting-up of workshops, all these things require discussion.
