Excerpt from A Graduated Course of Simple Manual Training Exercises, Vol. 1: For Educating the Hand and Eye

IT is now very generally admitted that the Kindergarten exercises, as carried out in many of the best infant schools, provide an excellent means of education through the medium of the operations performed by the children themselves with the objects comprising the various gifts. And it has been a frequent source of regret that arrangements were not made for continuing such work, in a more advanced form, with the children after they had left the infant school. The great attention which has recently been given to the general subject of technical education has considerably strengthened this feeling, and has led to attempts being made to supply this deficiency in the ordinary school course.

The present scheme of exercises, drawn up at the request of the Liverpool School Board, and successfully introduced into nearly all their schools, is intended to provide a graduated four years' course of practical work for children of from seven to eleven years of age (standards I. It consists of four series of exercises, each series containing thirty exercises, and forming the subject of a year's work. The present volume contains the first and second series the second part, contain ing the other two series, is in an advanced stage of preparation.

The author is indebted to several teachers in the Board's Schools, and to the Board's inspectors, for various criticisms suggested in the course of the actual working out of the exercises in the schools.
