Bertha Johnston's book is a teaching handbook for young children. It covers a variety of exercises designed to keep youngsters occupied as they acquire new abilities. The following project is a page and a half of using scissors. The Checker-Board is an example of the book's contents (Bristol board or stiff and smooth cardboard, smooth double-coated paper, red and black, paste, scissors, ruler). Make a 15-inch square out of cardboard. For the border, draw a line parallel to each side an inch from the edge. Cut 32 134-inch squares from each sheet of colored paper. Glue eight of them in a row, alternating colors, with just the top border line touching. Make eight similar rows, one on top of the other, and give them a total of 64 squares.
