Excerpt from Problems in Farm Woodwork: For Agricultural Schools, High Schools, Industrial Schools, and Country Schools
In many of these agricultural high schools, short courses are given during the four winter months for the benefit of those young men and women on the farm who have found it impossible to attend school thruout the year. To the young men in these classes, the practical work that can be given in the manual training courses appeals strongly. In many cases, boys become enough interested in work of this character to procure sets of tools for use in their own shops on the farm. With the understanding of the use of tools and of terms used in woodworking such as are learned in the manual training classes, and with the help of problems such as are offered in this book, these boys can work out many things by themselves and become proficient in this kind of work.
