Fine And Industrial Arts In Elementary Schools

By Walter Sargent, Professor of ^Esthetic and Industrial Education, The University of Chicago.

8vo, cloth, 132 pages, illustrated, 75 cents.

This book is a study of the place which the various phases of fine and industrial arts should occupy in the elementary-school curriculum.

It discusses the educational aims and significance of drawing, manual training, and design; the practical values of each of these subjects and their relation to industrial education; a plan for coherent progression through the grades in each; and the general nature of the work suitable for successive periods of the school course - offering suggestions for specific problems and a discussion of the standards of attainment which may reasonably be expected at each stage of the work. The various subjects are adequately illustrated with drawings, and with photographic reproductions of the work of children.

The book is planned to give information and assistance to grade teachers whose regular work includes instruction in the arts; to special teachers who are looking for suggestions useful in the arrangement of courses; and to superintendents who wish a discussion of the function of the fine and industrial arts in elementary schools.

Ginn And Company Publishers Examples Of Industrial Education

By Frank Mitchell Leavitt, Associate Professor of Industrial Education, The University of Chicago.

8vo, cloth, 330 pages, $1.25.

A Treatment of the various problems incident to the movement to establish appropriate and adequate industrial training for our future citizens. The author discusses the deeper significance of this movement especially in its relation to existing social, economic, and educational conditions, and analyzes the present-day demand made by the manufacturer, by organized labor, by the educator, and by the social worker. In addition he outlines a constructive plan on which this type of education might be organized by public schools and brought into vital relation with the present system.

The book contains descriptions and interpretations of existing examples of public industrial schools or classes which have been established in the United States during the past six or seven years. Emphasis is placed on the value of the illustrative, concrete example rather than upon the underlying theory, but an attempt is made to establish some general principles, by which these examples may be classified.

Consideration is given to some closely related movements such as the observed tendency to reorganize school systems on a more logical and psychological basis, especially as regards grading and promotion of pupils; the differentiation of elementary and secondary education; agricultural education; vocational guidance; and state legislation.

The book is appropriate for use in reading circles, for students of education, and for senior college and graduate students generally.
