Never try to help a pupil by doing his work for him.

A period of two hours twice a week will keep the class interested and the hand will not forget from one period to another.

The benches and tools should be inspected before and after each lesson.

The models should be given to those who have made them, at the close of the school year.

Keep plenty of good surgeon's plaster and bandages on hand, for accidents with the knife are likely to happen.

When a certain degree of excellency has been reached by the pupils, let them ornament some of the later models with appropriate designs of wood carving. Encourage pupils to have tools and a bench of their own.

The best way to proceed with the work is to have the pupils make a working drawing from the teacher's model, and then from that drawing make his model.

A good way to examine the pupils would be to show them the new exercise that is contained in their next model and let them invent a model embodying that exercise, making the working drawing of it first; or the teacher could make a drawing of the next model and have the pupil work from it. This could be done once or twice during the year.
