_Note._--Shoe or candy boxes may be used, but an effort
should be made to have them uniform.

The teacher who is to give lessons in sewing should secure a helpful
elementary text-book or some bulletin that deals with the teaching of
sewing.

LESSON I: PREPARATION FOR SEWING

_Preparation and use of working equipment: Needles, pins, thread,
