Présentation de l'éditeur
For the teacher, the book is intended to be suggestive merely. No text slavishly followed will yield best results. A trained teacher, whether in design class or shop, will be able to apply the principles and problems to work suited to a particular condition or environment. Moreover, it has been the sincere desire of the authors to produce a text suitable to place in the hands of students. To the end that pupils will be compelled to work out and apply their own problems, and to prevent the deadening influence of copying, suggestive, rather than completed drawings are usually given, and dimensions are omitted. Directions, however, are sufficiently definite. To make both design and construction as eflfective as possible, they must be presented, not as separate subjects, but as elements of one subject. Various materials are used and the necessity for the practice of economy kept constantly in mind. Acknowledgement is freely made of the inspiration and assistance given by Professor Ernest A. Batchelder, whose influence may be traced through the book. Mr. R. F. Schaeflfer of the Polytechnic Elementary School, Pasadena, and Mr. Douglas Donaldson of the Los Angeles High School, have aided materially in the work. Additional books in the series will deal with the more elementary phases of design and construction, applied to problems in wood working, book binding, paper and cardboard, basketry, etc. THE AUTHORS.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
