Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Manual Element in Education
Before proceeding to an account of some schools in which the Russian method of mechanic art education is used, I will sim ply add that the Imperial Technical School of Moscow was the first to show that it is best to teach an art before attempting to apply it; that the mechanic arts can be taught to classes through a graded series of examples by the usual laboratory methods which are used in teaching the s01ences. The ideas involved in the system are, first, to entirely separate the art from the trade, - the instruction-shops from the construction shops; second, to teach each art in its own shop third, to equip each shop with as many places and sets of tools, and thus accommodate as many pupils as the teacher can instruct at the same time; fourth, to design and graduate the series of samples to be worked out in each shop on educational grounds; and, fifth, to adopt the proper tests for proficiency and progress.
