Excerpt from The Health Exhibition Literature, Vol. 14 Whilst a number of details as to the age at which manual work in schools should be commenced, as to the class of teachers who should be employed, and as to the character of the work that should be encouraged have yet to be settled, before any authoritative scheme can be laid before the public, it may be taken for granted that in all large towns where workshops are introduced into elementary schools the instruction should be rather disciplinary than professional, and Should have for its Object not the teaching of a trade, but the imparting to the pupil a general knowledge of, and familiarity with, the use of such tools as are required in almost every kind of work in which the pupil may afterwards be engaged. In districts where encouragement is'needed for developing home industries, it may be desirable to spe cialise the workshop teaching at an early. Age; but, con sidering the difficulties which the complete mastery of the three R's and of drawing presents, I believe that if work shop training he introduced into our elementary schools it should not be begun before the pupil enters the fifth standard, and Should be developed in the higher elemen tary rather than in the lower schools.
