Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prevocational and Industrial Arts With these thoughts in mind, the authors of this book have endeavored to present various lines of work in such a fashion that pupils of the grammar grades or prevocational period may understand and make use of them; that high school or vocational school pupils may profitably use them for informational or manipulative suggestions and that individuals, who are not in school, but who are seeking help in the details of the crafts covered in this volume, can find the guidance which they need. It is impossible to cover all of the details of each craft in the brief space allotted to each subject in this volume, but sufficient details have been given to enable the reader to do effective work in the subjects under consideration. No courses of study are suggested in this book. A variety of projects have been suggested, some of which will appeal to pupils in a city or village and some of which will appeal more particularly to pupils in a rural community, but it is left to the instructor or individual to evolve his sequence of work. By means of this breadth of selected projects and the group arrange ment of the book, it is made easily adjustable to the needs of any local situation. At the same time information on work outside of the particular community is brought before the pupils. It is the idea of the authors that the projects given in this text be used as suggestive material and redesigned or developed to suit the individual needs of the pupil. The mere fact that one subject is presented in this book before another, does not necessarily mean that it should be studied in that order; in fact, it may not be possible or advisable to undertake all of the lines of work suggested because of inadequate equipment or lack of interest in some subjects in certain communities. It is hoped that in this text a real need in the school will be met. It has been developed by the authors at the suggestion of educators who have felt the need of a book which would set forth the informational side of manual arts in connection with a variety of subjects and projects of an industrial character. In this way content is emphasized as well as skill. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
