Excerpt from Construction Work in Cardboard and Paper: For Grades I to IV Without the Use of Tools, With a Course in Woodwork for the Fifth GradeWith the prevalent demand for the introduction of manual training into the elementary school, there is a feeling that some preparatory work should be undertaken leading up from the kindergarten to the fifth or sixth grades. Very much has been done for the children of the upper grades, but little work of a methodical charac ter has been provided for bridging the gap between the kindergarten and these grades.If manual training is educational in the kindergarten and the upper grades, it must likewise be educational in the lower grades of the elementary school, and there is no reason why its continuity, throughout the whole of a child's school course, should be broken.It must be detrimental to the child to stop this training at the age of six years and expect him to undertake a line of work distinct from the ordinary school course, during the last few years of school. If a thorough education is to be afforded the child, the intermediate preparation must be continuous and thorough.In order to do this, I propose introducing a method which may be adapted to _the needs and capacities of the younger children.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
