RsiTT) XC PREFACE. EDUCATION as it exists consists of storing the memory, developing the intellect, and training the constructive faculty. I propose to go a step beyond this, and show if possible how memory may be created, quickness of perception be awakened, and the constructive power formed, so that the mind, when it begins to acquire knowledge, may do so with confidence and strength. I think that before learning children should acquire the art of learning, or, to use the words of ARTHUR MACARTHUR, we should intellectualise them before attempting to improve their intellects. My suggestions are based on what the history of mankind shows to be four truths. Firstly, that every human being possesses a memory which may be easily increased to what would seem to most persons a miraculous degree. This is proved by the fact that in every country in Europe before the invention of printing, as in the East at the present day, thousands or millions of men have had such memories, which were formed by a very easy system of development, which may be introduced to every school.

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.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the connection between industrial arts and education, using the practical use of wood carving as a foundational example. The author, a respected artist and educator, argues that including manual industrial arts alongside traditional subjects such as reading and writing can greatly benefit the development of young minds. Using industrial arts to teach principles of design is seen as an important step in this learning process as it stimulates quickness of perception and increases memory capacity. The author asserts that children of all ages can learn to appreciate and even master a trade through this method, giving them a valuable head start in life and future employment. The book includes practical exercises and historical context to support its theories. Its insights into the benefits of industrial arts in education are significant and can inspire educators to incorporate more hands-on learning into their curriculum.
