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.

All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
