Excerpt from Suggestive Outline in Woodwork and Drawing for Grades and High School: Also a Preliminary Statement Regarding Work in Metal and Cement
New Ideas and Inventions
Discuss any new idea or invention with the class that is related to the shop or industries. Make such points as where the invention will be most helpful, how will it affect the people as a whole, what effect, if any, it will have in our daily life.
Bulletin Board
Have a bulletin board for cuttings on interesting subjects, and encourage the boys in the class to bring these cuttings. For example, many interesting cuttings may be taken from The Popular Mechanics Magazine or from The World's Work.
Notebooks
It is a good plan for the teacher to keep a good loose leaf notebook with short notes on his subjects, and to add to them when opportunity offers. If the notebook is of such a size that it can be carried conveniently in the pocket, more helpful material will find its way into it than if it were one of a large and bulky nature. The pupils should also keep notebooks.
Demonstrations
The teacher is usually able to demonstrate enough in fifteen or twenty minutes to keep the class busy for the remainder of the period. A schedule of demonstrations and lectures should be worked out by the teacher for the entire year.
Charts and Drawings
Charts may be made by the high school boys for grade work. They save the time of the teacher in placing the drawings on the blackboard.
Accuracy
The question of how accurate the work should be done must rest with the teacher. He must study the individual pupil and be satisfied that the work of each boy is the best he is able to accomplish at that particular stage of the work.
Rural and city districts may demand different problems.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book combines the hands-on knowledge of a woodworker with intellectual depth to provide a comprehensive manual for teaching woodworking and technical drawing in schools. The author emphasizes the importance of developing both practical skills and theoretical understanding. Detailing the evolution of these curricula from their early iterations to their present form, this book examines how students refine their understanding through a carefully constructed series of projects that increase in complexity as they progress. The author supplies detailed descriptions of specific projects and instructional techniques that may be used in the classroom. The author argues that the combination of woodworking and technical drawing helps students to develop their spatial reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. He also explores how these subjects can be used to teach about the history of technology, design, and the properties of different materials. This book will be of great interest to teachers of woodworking and technical drawing, as well as to anyone interested in the history and philosophy of education.
