This book consists of 80 plates and a few explanatory notes. Its purpose is to furnish teachers of classes beginning mechanical drawing with a large number of simple, practical problems. These have been selected with reference to the formation of good habits in technique, the interest of the pupils, and the subjects generally included in a grammar and first-year high school course. Each problem given is unsolved and therefore in proper form to hand to the pupil for solution. MECHANICAL DRAWING PROBLEMS. By Edward Berg and Emil F. Kronquist. A direct and concise text adapted for high school students beginning mechanical drawing. It covers two year's work and contains 128 full-page plates--excellent examples of draftsmanship. Text accompanies each plate, giving necessary facts and helpful hints wherever needed. The underlying principles of drafting are thoroly covered and the practical applications, which are abundant, have been most skilfully chosen and admirably presented. The plates tell what to do, almost at a glance, yet prevent mere copy work. Each problem tests the ability of the student to think and execute graphically and unconsciously develops an excellent technique. MECHANICAL DRAFTING. By W. H. Miller. (Revised edition). A textbook for advanced high school students which presents drafting room practice in practical textbook form. It is so written that it may be used with any course of exercises or problems and supplements the instruction of the teacher in such a way as to reduce lecture work to a minimum. It is a direct and simple treatment of mechanical drafting, giving due consideration to the needs of the student, the beginning draftsman and the requirements of the best teaching methods. It is complete, yet condensed and is well adapted for handbook use by the student and draftsman. It is well illustrated and is bound in flexible binding, pocket size. A thoroughly practical, modern textbook. GRAMMAR GRADE PROBLEMS IN MECHANICAL DRAWING. By Charles A. Bennett. A remarkably simple and carefully graded treatment of the fundamentals of mechanical drawing for the use of students in the 7th and 8th grades. It combines an abundance of text and simple problems, accompanied by notes and directions. Its use insures the early formation of correct habits of technique and makes possible the development of a standard in grammar grade mechanical drawing parallel with woodworking. Abundantly and well illustrated. MECHANICAL DRAWING FOR BEGINNERS. By Charles H. Bailey.
