About This Book

A practical classroom manual of simple, low-cost craft lessons organized into five sections: cord construction, paper construction, wood construction, basketry, and the school garden. Each section opens with material notes and brief cultural or historical context, then provides clear aims, step-by-step directions, working drawings, and teacher prompts for progressive projects such as knots and chains, paper boxes and books, small wood patterns, reed and raffia baskets, and chair caning. The approach stresses skill-building, accurate execution, attractive design, and adaptability to young pupils and limited resources. A concise seasonal account of school-garden work illustrates how gardening complements manual instruction and classroom routines.

And so,
Little evergreens, grow!
Grow, grow!
Grow, little evergreens, grow!

I would say:

And so,
Grow, school gardens, grow!
Grow, grow!
Grow, school gardens, grow!

The three pictures, "Studying Nature," "A Flower from the Country" and "A Suggestion for Recess Hour," came to me from a country school. They speak so vividly for themselves that I feel that each one carries with it its own message and appeals so strongly in behalf of the deepest love of nature in even the youngest child as to point to the possibilities of what might be when this love is fed and made to grow with the physical nature of the child.
