A remarkably simple treatment of elementary woodworking for
students in the seventh and eighth grades. It deals with
tools, processes and materials and includes only such subject
matter as should be taught to grammar grade students. It meets
the requirements of students working in large classes and
devoting the minimum of time to manual training. A practical
and unusually attractive textbook and one that can be used
with any course of models and in any order.
