Abstract
THE author has attempted to provide, within the restricted limits of a hundred and sixty pages, a three years' course of woodwork, drawing, and object lessons; chapters on discipline, organisation and method; particulars as to the fittings and furniture required for the exercises, as well as hints on the instruction of deaf, blind, and special children. At the same time he has found space for nearly two hundred illustrations. The consequence is that the instructions are meagre, and in many cases quite inadequate. The illustrations in the earlier pages are good, but some of the drawings intended to help the object lessons outlined in chapter viii. will fail to convey much meaning to pupils. The courses of woodwork are also published separately in pamphlet form at fourpence net for each year.
