It is my hope that this little manual will be regarded by the lay teacher as a compilation of suggestions, and not as an extensive study, or final treatise on handwork. As society evolves, education must change to keep apace with it, so may this text serve as a waypost, not a goal. It was not my intention, originally, to write a book; the need developed and I met it as I could. The content of these few pages is the result of eight years of work, including experimental kindergarten and first grade teaching, physical education supervision in the elementary school, and Normal Training School instructing. I do not claim it to be original. It is a compilation of suggestions and ideas which have come to me from my own little daughter, from the children whom it has been my good fortune to teach in public schools, from Normal School students, from observation of daily life, and from individual study. The projects described have been worked out in an average one-teacher, one-room public school kindergarten or first grade of mixed population.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
