Synopsis

Excerpt from Course of Study in Drawing, Constructive Work, Sewing, and Cooking: As Adopted by the Board of Education May 27, 1903, With a Syllabus in Each of These Subjects as Adopted by the Board of Superintendents June 18, 1903

The general arrangement of the course is conditioned by the indicated aims. Opportunity for abundant illustrative drawing is presented throughout the elementary grades, in order that the child may use such drawing as a means of expression. Instruction in object drawing is also systematically given, in order that from the entrance of the child into school he may steadily gain in the power to see, to make discriminative judgments, and to record the results of such judgments with ease and certainty. Constructive work is early presented in order that he may acquire dexterity and skill in the handling of simple tools and in the manipulation of a variety of materials. Constant opportunity is given for personal initiative and original solution. Throughout the course, the work in Design is related to that in Construction, as it is believed that a knowledge of Design - of what contributes to beauty in form and arrangement - should be knowledge for use. Throughout the course, emphasis should be laid upon the individuality of the pupil, upon his gain in power to think and to do for himself. The desire for results in the form of a perfect product should never blind the teacher to the importance of a sound comprehension by the pupil of both purpose and process. The stress should be laid upon the producer rather than upon the process or product.
