Woodwork for Secondary Schools a Text-Book for High Schools and Colleges, Prevocational and Elementary Industrial Schools (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Woodwork for Secondary Schools a d104-Book for High Schools and Colleges, Prevocational and Elementary Industrial Schools The use of woodworking machines, with the exception of the lathe, by large classes of freshmen is not recom mended. The chapter On Woodworking Machines is in cluded in the text for the use of such classes as can be organized with sufficiently small numbers to allow the instructor to give close and continuous attention to the machines. There is no reason, however, why much Of such matter may not be read and studied by freshmen as they secure shop experience with the hand tools. A freshman who does not expect to take advanced shopwork in wood will be profited by knowing how much Of his hand tool work is duplicated by machines in a way which makes possible cheaper and, if well done, equally good pro duction. It has been found impracticable to treat the subject of Carpentry as a chapter Of this text. Then, too, because of physical limitations, carpentry can hardly find a place so nearly universal in the general school curriculum as the more strictly bench subjects. For these reasons carpentry has been treated by the author in a separate text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Essentials of Woodworking: A Textbook for Schools (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Essentials of Woodworking: A Textbook for SchoolsAn experience, somewhat extended, in teaching aca demic branches of learning as well as woodworking, has convinced the author that the most effective teaching of woodworking can be accomplished only when its content is made a subject of as diligent study as is that of the other and older branches. Such a study necessitates the use, by the student, of a textbook.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Woodwork for Secondary Schools a Text-Book for High Schools and Colleges, Prevocational and Elementary Industrial SchoolsThe aim of this book is to provide in text form the essentials of woodwork as usually taught in secondary schools. Manifestly, in a book of this size no one subject can be treated exhaustively. Nor is such treatment necessary to fulfill the purpose of the book, which is to provide the elements of subject-matter for general experience in various lines of woodwork rather than extended experience in some one line. It is confidently expected that the content will be found sufficiently complete for the purpose intended.Much of the subject-matter, should limitations of time or equipment prevent its use in connection with specific shop experience, may be assigned for reading and study from the purely "informational" point of view. Such assignments, if made so that they shall have some connection with the shopwork, will serve to broaden the pupils "outlook," giving to the specific shop experiences a setting calculated to greatly increase the understanding of their meaning.This text presupposes a knowledge of elementary tool processes, such as are to be found in well organized grade school work, as described in "Essentials of Woodworking," by the same author. However, owing to the lack of any general agreement as to the dividing line between grade school and high school, there will be found included in this text those parts of "Essentials of Woodworking" which observation has shown are frequently not covered in grade schools of good standing.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Teaching Manual and Industrial Arts: A Textbook for Normal Schools and Colleges The homely story of the blind men and the elephant well illustrates the attitude one is likely to assume with reference to the beliefs of others educationally, unless he studies dis cerningly. The reader will recall that the blind man who happened to grasp the elephant's ear concluded that elephants were like palm leaf fans; the one who touched the elephant's Side concluded that an elephant was like the side of a wall; the one who grasped the elephant's tail thought elephants were like rope; while the one who happened to clasp his arms about the elephant's leg was certain elephants were like tree trunks. Each was right in SO far as he had informed himself of a part of the body; he was wrong in his hasty or impartial generalization as to the likeness of the whole body. In edu cation we shall do well to refrain from hasty generalizations that the whole body of educational need is like that with which we have informed ourselves and like that alone.
