Excerpt from Industrial Work for Public Schools
"Educative all-round manual training develops the habit and skill for all-sided work; it makes the worker capable of doing new tasks and studying new conditions."
The industrial work suggested in this book has been thoroughly tested and is based upon practical experience.
Many mediums are advised because a variety in material and processes is desirable. Construction in cardboard and paper is valuable, and accuracy, symmetry, and regularity are its characteristics; but other kinds of work that express different elements, such as freedom, grace, originality, judgment, reasoning, and designing, are equally good, and they should be a part of the handwork of all schools.
Clay modeling is the best possible beginning of an interest in art and its evolution. So reed-weaving, rug-making, raffia work, whittling, sewing, and iron work each has its particular value, and fortunate is the little one who has all these avenues open to him in the public schools.
Grateful acknowledgment is made to the teachers, principals, and supervisors of the Minneapolis schools who have assisted in the practical demonstration of this course of industrial work, and also to the publishers of the poems and other quotations used.
