With this particular work, the possibilities for all around development are greater than in any other form of Manual Training, therefore it is the best form for public school work. In it there are a greater number of healthful exercises taught than are embodied in any other work. There are no harmful exercises.

The articles made are such as to embody the exercises in the order of their simplicity, and can be so arranged as to fit the daily growth of the pupil.

With careful teaching of the use of tools there is a natural tendency towards neatness and accuracy, which cannot be said of all kinds of work that could be used for manual training purposes.

It brings a pupil face to face with himself, and he sees his weaknesses and his good qualities as he never saw them before.

These elements of character which Manual Training should develop, such as independence, order, neatness, respect for the dignity of intelligent labor and a love for work in general, are fundamentally established, and there is an awakening of a lively interest in all subjects that pertain to scientific and skillful work and thought. Another important fact is, that one becomes more generally skillful in this work than in any other, and the exercises performed are fundamental in teaching and performing all other kinds of work that could be used for manual training purposes and which should follow this.
