Excerpt from Hand-Work in the Sunday-School
Every one truly interested in religious education and especially in the Sunday-school phase of it will find in this masterful manual a challenge, at least, to his attention. A brave and thoroughgoing little pioneer it is alike in its theory, its spirituality, and its curriculum of practice.
To a degree, Mr. Littlefield is debtor - as he should be - to a more general pedagogy and public school method, and also to some who have pointed in the direction of manual methods in religious education. None the less, it remained to him to blaze a clean path now easily open to us all to follow through the time-grown jungle of tradition and its prejudices. Of course he was not the first to see that the hand is as divine a mode of self-expression as the tongue. But he is to be credited with having completely demonstrated this principle by a system of Sunday-school practice which is of easy adoption in any Sunday-school of average resources. In short, he has systematically correlated the hand-work with the oral work within the narrow limitations of Sunday-school conditions.
