Problems in Carpentry - A Course in Practical Carpentry for Manual Training Classes #268237

Carpentry is now being introduced into the more progressive schools, and, when properly presented, fulfills one of the chief aims of vocational teaching. A course in carpentry such as is here outlined not only gives the student an insight into the build ing trades, but develops thought, observa tion, and the necessary practical training of the hand. The great difficulty in teaching carpentry has been the lack of a method that would give the student actual carpentry work to do. Various systems have been tried, all of which are open to serious objections.
