A Handbook For Sewing School Teachers

Excerpt from A Handbook for Sewing School Teachers In preparing a second edition of this little book, several questions and suggestions received since its publication have been carefully considered. The time, however, has been too short to give them that thorough testing which has been given to every detail of the course as here planned, and which would alone warrant any change. In some schools a substitute for the canvas weaving patch is now being used. It is a small piece of cardboard with two parallel rows of small holes, across from one to the other of which a warp is worked with worsted, and upon this, in contrasting color, is woven a woof. The idea of the contrasting color is excellent, and of course the cards take less time than the canvas, but only longer experience and comparison of the two methods can demonstrate whether the gain in time may not be a loss in some more important points.

Excerpt from A Handbook of Elementary Sewing This course has been arranged for the elementary schools of Los Angeles, California. It has been worked out to meet the conditions that exist in that city and may be taught satisfactorily by the grade teachers as far as the seventh grade. A few of the suggestions have already been printed in the School Arts Magazine and are reprinted through the courtesy of the publishers. My assistants in the department have given me many valuable suggestions, and I am also indebted to the art department for assistance in simple designs.

Excerpt from A Sewing Course for Teachers: Comprising Directions for Making the Various Stitches, and Instruction in Methods of Teaching The introduction of manual training as a necessary part of education has raised sewing to an art of great importance. Outside of the practical advantage of being able to use the needle, the mental training through hand and eye has been proved to have a permanent effect on the character. The training of the hand makes it dextrous in other employments. Habits of thrift, cleanliness, patience and accuracy are inculcated, economy taught and the inventive faculty developed. Attention and the power of observation are increased by giving the lesson to an entire class at one time instead of by the old method of showing each pupil separately. In order to get the best results, certain fixed rules must be followed; to meet this want, these brief notes are given for the use of teachers. The course is care fully graded to lead the mind gradually upward to more difficult needlework. An enthusiastic and progressive teacher can, through sewing, make freer and more capable beings of her pupils and help round out their characters.
