Excerpt from Bookbinding as a Handwork Subject: Being a Full Explanation of How Books Can Be Bound With Simple Apparatus in a School Classroom

The aims of the book are to show in the first place how the meces sary apparatus may be simplified and made in school, at a cost not exceeding the reasonable allowances of most Education Committees, and, in the second place, so to arrange the operations, that the teacher may secure a fairly regular gradation of difficulty and complexity in sewing, covering with cloth, ornamentation, etc.

The problem of dealing with large classes in handwork is an important one, and a plan is outlined which will, it is hoped, help the teacher in managing this subject even with classes of sixty children. All the instructions, moreover, are put in as practical a form as possible.

This book is a result of the experience of one who has realised that the occupation has certain difficulties as a handwork subject, and who has made an attempt to Show how they may be overcome.
