Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Handbook for Planning and Planting Small Home Grounds: With a List of Native and Commonly Cultivated Plants That Are Represented in the Collection Upon the Stout Manual Training School Grounds
Company, for a full year's manual training course for twenty boys, and for teaching sewing and cooking to girls. It was opened Nov. 1, 1890. After this experiment had made it clear that it was desirable to incorporate this work into the school courses, a new building, with a larger and much more extensive equipment, was constructed adjoining the High School. After the destruction of these buildings by fire in February, 1897 an additional block of land was secured and plans were made for a much larger brick and iron building, which was completed in 1898, and has been fully equipped by Mr. Stout with the best obtainable appliances, and a very ample provision made for future growth.
The manual training is a complement of the public school work, the High School scholars have one exercise in it per day, the lower schools two per week, while the teaching in the kindergarten begins the manual training.
