Normal school students will find the outline representative of a manual training practice that is being carried on in some schools that are reputed to be progressive.
Finally, it is expected that the book will prove helpful to young instructors in their first year of teaching, assisting them over many of the petty details which spell success or failure in varying degree, which otherwise would not be foreseen.

For the convenience of the teachers, the drawings used in “Projects for Beginning Woodwork and Mechanical Drawing” and “Advance Projects in Woodwork” are printed in this book. The notes and working directions, however, are not included. The inking of the drawings and the making of the perspectives in both of these books is the work of Mr. George Gordon Kellar.
