Présentation de l'éditeur
Excerpt from Shop Projects: Based on Community Problems
Superintendents who have been accustomed to maintaining a high ideal 'of excellence in all their work have been not a little annoyed by the chaotic unmeasurable results in their industrial classes, but they have been told by the experts along the theoret ical side of the work that the child should be allowed to unfold in his own way. Then when the class has been intrusted to an in experienced, perhaps meagerly trained teacher, the superintendent sees that the fine theory of the psychological expert brings about intangible standards and indefinite results in the hands of the less capable teacher.
If handwork is to be made a real school problem, and is to have its highest educational value, it certainly must conform to the same rules of pedagogy which govern the other subjects. The mind does not undergo any transformation because the child hap pens to be in the shop or to have a saw or hammer in his hand.
