Excerpt from Educational Handwork, Vol. 1: A Complete and Varied Course for Schools

Although placed last, the children should be the first consideration of the teacher. The chief suggestion made to those who have the care of the children is that the tools used for the practical work should be simple, and, if possible, such as the children may readily obtain for themselves, so that (if they wish) they will be able to extend their practical work at home.

Again, in the interests of the children, we should be careful not to do too much for them. They will make better progress if they have to overcome their own difficulties than is possible if all obstacles are removed.

Another point we must keep constantly before us is, that the children must be allowed full opportunity of developing their own individuality. One way of helping to bring this about is to provide opportunity for original work. The quicker children will finish their models, perhaps, ten or fifteen minutes ahead of their fellows. Such pupils should always have at hand a piece of material with which to work out their own ideas. Occasionally, all the children should be required to attempt original work.

The various schemes outlined in this book make it possible to carry out all the suggestions given.
