A Conference On Manual Training PDF Download

Excerpt from A Conference on Manual Training: The Papers Read and a Phonographic Report of the Discussions Had at the Sessions of a Conference on Manual Training, Held at Boston, April 8-11, 1891 The record Of all that was said at the sessions of the Conference is complete and exact. The papers are printed from the authors' manuscript, and the discussions from phonographic reports. But no record or verbal description could do justice to the varied and interesting exhibits which filled the rooms, the corridors, and the great drill hall Of the English High School building, Some indications of their extent and variety are pre served in the appendix to this pamphlet; but any real image of them can live only in the recollections Of many among the fifteen thousand people who, it is safe to say, visited the exhibition and assembly rooms during the three days and evenings of the Conference. That the exhibition, the papers, and the discussions have greatly spread and deepened the popular interest in manual training there can be no doubt. It is with the hope Of promoting this interest still further that the Executive Committee of the New England Conference of Educational Workers has undertaken the publication of this pamphlet.
