This collection of problems in woodworking has been made to meet the needs of busy teachers of manual training. They have all been selected from the Shop Problems Department of the Manual Training Magazine; the text has been revised, and several new pen sketches added. In this form they are quite sure to be welcomed by progressive teachers who are looking for good problems for their classes. Each problem has been put to the test and has proven satisfactory to the teacher who designed it and the pupil who made it.

Most of the problems have all the working dimensions given, but a few of them - for example, the simple stool, the tabouret, and the tie rack - need either to have some dimensions supplied by the pupil or they invite thoughtful modification by him. In this way the collection aims to meet a great variety of needs. - The Editor.
