Synopsis
Excerpt from Sewing and Textiles First Lessons for Elementary Schools
This volume is intended for use in places beginning the study of sewing and textiles. It has been arranged for use in the elementary schools and does not presuppose any training in general science. It is strictly an elementary treatment of the subject.
The book deals with the selection of clothing and garment-making. Garments are made, the commercial patterns being used. The lessons in textiles are correlated with the lessons in garment-making by studying, in the class, the materials that are being used in the laboratory. The hygiene of clothing, and the clothing budget, are discussed when the dress is the laboratory problem. Through the Home Problems, the home and school work may be correlated.
Attention is called to the insertion of material for the use of the modern "project method." Many teachers will find that this makes the plan of the book more attractive and practicable. It need not disturb the work of the teacher who prefers the longer established ways of teaching.
The author acknowledges the help given in illustrating the book by the United States Department of Agriculture, The United States Bureau of Standards, Cheney Brothers, The Linen Thread Company, and Landers, Frary and Clark. The author also gratefully acknowledges the criticisms and suggestions of educators who kindly read the manuscript.
