Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Manual Training
It is natural for us, when the country is stirred by some new movement, to look for the cause. To find the cause and recognize it is not always an easy matter. It is usually found in a combination of conditions that differ in their relations from those ordinarily existing, and therefore requires a point of view difficult to assume by those not thoroughly experienced in the new field of observation. That the introduction of tool work into the common schools has brought under observation a line of work requiring a point of view not easily gained by those accustomed to pass judgment upon our school work is easily believed because of the greatly varying opinions and suggestions which are given out as a result of those observations. It does not seem probable that in this new line of work there is no basis on which a definite theory can be placed. The present difficulty appears to be the all but universal difficulty of those long accustomed to a certain line of investigation failing to grasp the whole body of facts bearing upon the new situation.
