Excerpt from Correlated Courses in Woodwork and Mechanical Drawing The author wishes to state that the basis of the following courses rests more upon the art or practice of teaching manual training than upon the theory. It is the result of carefully prepared plans executed under public school conditions by the author himself, covering a period of some nine years of experimentation. Wherever plans, or theory, were found producing results which common sense indicated plainly were not for the pupils' highest good, practical expediency supplanted theory. If manual training practice in the two upper grammar grades has merited criticism it has been because school men have not taken its subject matter seriously enough. It is too much to hope that results can be achieved that are truly educative, when a shop, however well equipped, is turned over to a teacher but slightly experienced in, and appreciative of, the finer points.
