Excerpt from The Industrial Arts in Elementary Education In the preparation of this book the authors have had in mind two classes of people. (i) teachers engaged in instruction in the elementary grades. And (2) students in normal schools and colleges who are pre paring to become elementary teachers. In the first instance the book will be a reference work, and in the second, a text to be used in elementary industrial arts courses. Under the general term industrial arts we include all of those phases of handwork and industry study commonly known as manual training, manual arts. Drawing. Construction work. Art work. Etc. Our chief aim is a presentation of the study of indus trial processes and materials, and all handwork introduced will be chosen with a view to giving familiarity with these materials and to making clearer processes through participation in the activities.

Excerpt from Elementary Industrial Arts In spite of the fact that industry has ever been a most important factor in our national life, it is only within the past few years that instruction in it has been given an amount of emphasis at all commensurate with social demands. New ideas regarding the aims and purposes of education are to-day bringing about long needed changes in subject matter and in the methods of its presenta tion, while school courses are being reconstructed that they may more effectively meet the demands being made upon them from the outside.

Excerpt from Fine and Industrial Arts, in Elementary Schools During the past few years the amount of new subject matter relating to the fine and industrial arts in elementary schools has rapidly increased. The organization of this material into a form involving definite progression and reasonable standards of attainment at various stages has not wholly kept pace with its introduction. The considerations here presented regarding a scheme for such organization have taken shape in the course of numerous conferences with those interested in the subject, and as a result of investigations which were suggested by these discussions.

Excerpt from Industrial Arts in Our Elementary Schools Americans should be proud of our democratic claim that free education is provided in each public rural and urban school in the United States. However, our taith in this boast cannot carry much conviction, either with ourselves or with others, unless the elementary schools are seriously concerned with those human activities that contribute most in preparing for the many-sided demands which confront all intelligent consumers and worthy citizens. If our elementary industrial arts courses are to continue to occupy an important place in the program for elementary education, they must soon be subjected to the same general tests and judged by the same high standards that apply to the other elementary school subjects. The relative possibilities in the different plans for realizing common objectives also must be determined more scientifically than heretofore. These brief reports dealing with the various units of elementary industrial arts work and study, which were successfully organized and conducted by Miss Hunter and the several other teachers named in connection with their respective contributions, were collected for the 1921 Yearbook by the Industrial Arts Committee of the National Society for the study of Education. Since it did not prove expedient for the Society to publish Part III of its 1921 Yearbook, which was to have included these suggestive reports, it has been recommended and urged that this carefully planned and tried material on promising experiments for developing industrial courses and projects to meet the psychological This committee was composed oiL. A. Herr, G.H. Hargitt and A.H. Edgerton, chairman. and social needs of elementary school pupils should be revised for publication as a handbook for teachers of industrial arts in elementary schools. In order that all concerned might derive the most help from these valuable units and projects, it finally has been decided to present them in connection with the findings and implications resulting from this investigation of 141 public school systems. The educational needs of today seem to call for instruction which aims(1) to develop the pupils general and special capacities and(2) to prepare him for the demands which the future is going to make upon him. But it is obvious that the early conception of the rudiments of elementary education, involving some skill in reading, writing, and arithmetic, altho still important, will not begin to suffice either in aiding pupils who continue their school work to choose their courses more wisely in secondary education, or in helping those who might find it advisable or necessary to leave school with a minimum amount of education to choose their respective procedure more thotfully. While it has long since been agreed that, if possible, children should be sufficiently well prepared in school so that they may exercise intelligent judgment in weighing values and in choosing their future courses of study and work, the traditional curriculum has quite frequently failed to furnish those concrete experiences and reliable facts pertaining to the social, the economic, and the larger personal aspects of our most important life occupations, all of which could help to make this possibility a reality.

Excerpt from Art and Industrial Education Since 1870 the rapidity of the development Of art and industrial education in the United States has been so marked and so effective, the rapid increase in the num ber of special schools and museums of the fine arts SO strik ing, as to make exceedingly difficult a satisfactory survey of this subject within the limits of a monograph. The movement for the general introduction of drawing in the public schools, and of definite endeavors to promote art education, with a purpose to develop and improve the art industries of a people, seemed alike sudden in England and in the United States. In England it was apparently the definite result Of the first world's fair - the exhibition of 1851. In the United States it had its origin in Boston, in 1870, where it was a direct outcome of the English movement. The Centennial exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876, where the work in drawing of the Massachusetts normal art school, and of the public schools in Boston, was shown, made possible the rapid and remarkable development throughout the United States of the two kindred elements in education, namely, industrial art drawing and manual training. This addition of these two new studies to the regular courses of the public schools has been, perhaps, the most notable characteristic educational feature of the past two decades. AS the English were long held to be a people hopelessly inartistic and devoid Of art possibilities, their wonderful development since 1851, in so many lines Of artistic manu factures, challenges investigation, especially by a people long similarly accused as being innately inartistic, and for a long perio, d, it must be admitted, apparently deservedly SO accused.

Excerpt from Industrial Education in the Elementary School The history of the teaching of manual training is one of the most interesting chapters in the evolution of the elementary school. Manual work was introduced into the curriculum at the beginning of the present period of educational unrest; and, because it had no fixed traditions to hamper its progress, responded most fully to modem educational principles. When manual training was inaugurated in our schools, the public supposed it was to serve a practical industrial purpose; but the laity had not reckoned with the schoolmaster and school tradition. The teacher proceeded to make manual work a mental discipline rather than a practical utility, - a fallacious distinction long held by his craft. The new study was made into a set of formal exercises, rather than a group of interesting problems. The chief emphasis was laid on the practice of technique. The need of the child to express himself in manual activities that fulfill his desires was completely subordinated if not overlooked.
