Problems in Farm Woodwork
PREFACE
In many states laws have been passed, requiring the teaching of industrial subjects in all schools within the state. In many instances state funds are provided to aid this work in the high schools of farming communities, and in rural schools. The trend of the manual training courses in such schools is toward practical work, and toward correlation with agriculture.
In many of these agricultural high schools, short courses are given during the four winter months for the benefit of those young men and women on the farm who have found it impossible to attend school thruout the year. To the young men in these classes, the practical work that can be given in the manual training courses appeals strongly. In many cases, boys become enough interested in work of this character to procure sets of tools for use in their own shops on the farm. With the understanding of the use of tools and of terms used in woodworking such as are learned in the manual training classes, and with the help of problems such as are learned in this book, these boys can work out many things by themselves and become proficient in this kind of work.
It is not intended that this book be used as a text, altho by selecting problems from it an efficient course of study could be worked out by the instructor.
