Excerpt from The Industrial Arts in Elementary Education In the preparation of this book the authors have had in mind two classes of people. (i) teachers engaged in instruction in the elementary grades. And (2) students in normal schools and colleges who are pre paring to become elementary teachers. In the first instance the book will be a reference work, and in the second, a text to be used in elementary industrial arts courses. Under the general term industrial arts we include all of those phases of handwork and industry study commonly known as manual training, manual arts. Drawing. Construction work. Art work. Etc. Our chief aim is a presentation of the study of indus trial processes and materials, and all handwork introduced will be chosen with a view to giving familiarity with these materials and to making clearer processes through participation in the activities.
