A handy boy becomes a handy man—a skilled mechanic, a practical business man, a thorough, accurate worker. That is why it is so important to encourage the boy to become handy. “The Handy Boy” has been written with a view to instructing the boy in the ways of doing things handily, by applying handy methods to the making and doing of hundreds of worth-while things in which he is intensely interested. Such instruction as it contains can be put to immediate use; and this naturally appeals to the boy’s sense of the practical and is of infinitely more value to him than instruction which cannot possibly be of any use for years to come, because knowledge once applied is not easily forgotten.
Besides developing handiness, “The Handy Boy” will encourage the boy to think for himself and to use his ingenuity; and it will instill in him an ambition to make the best possible use of his time so that he may grow up prepared to do something and be something.
“Mr. Hall’s book is just the thing to put into the growing boy’s hand to keep him successfully and happily employed.”—Des Moines Capital.
“The best book of its kind that has yet been published.”—Boston Transcript.
“There is scarcely any boy from twelve to sixteen or seventeen that will not be delighted with such a book, and no one would fail to receive much valuable information from it.”—Presbyterian.
