PRACTICAL EDUCATION.
A WORK ON
PREPARING THE MEMORY, DEVELOPING
QUICKNESS OF PERCEPTION, AND
TRAINING THE CONSTRUCTIVE
FACULTIES.
By CHARLES G. LELAND.
Author of “The Minor Arts,” “Twelve Manuals of Art Work,” “The Album
of Repoussé Work,” “Industrial Art in Education, or Circular
No. 4, 1882,” “Hints on Self-Education,” etc.
Mr. Leland was the first person to introduce Industrial Art as a branch of education in the public schools of America. The Bureau of Education at Washington, observing the success of his work, employed him in 1862 to write a pamphlet showing how hand-work could be taken or taught in schools and families. It is usual to issue only 15,000 of these pamphlets, but so great was the demand for this that in two years after its issue more than 60,000 were given to applicants. This work will be found greatly enlarged in “Practical Education.” Owing to it thousands of schools, classes, or clubs of industrial art were established in England, America and Austria. As at present a great demand exists for information as to organizing Technical Education, this forms the first part of the work. In it the author indicates that all the confusion and difference of opinion which at present prevails as to this subject, may very easily be obviated by simply beginning by teaching the youngest the easiest arts of which they are capable, and by thence gradually leading them on to more advanced work.
