Art, Real Manual Training, Nature Study. Explaining Processes whereby
Hand, Eye and Mind are Educated by Means that Conserve Vitality and
Develop a Union of Thought and Action
By J. Liberty Tadd
_Director of the Public School of Industrial Art, of Manual Training and
Art in the R. C. High School, and in several Night Schools, Member of the
Art Club, Sketch Club, and Educational Club, and of the Academy of Natural
Sciences, Philadelphia_
Based on twenty-two years' experience with thousands of children and
hundreds of teachers. "A method reasonable, feasible and without great
cost, adapted to all grades, from child to adult; a plan that can be
applied without friction to every kind of educational institution or to
the family, and limited only by the capacity of the individual; a method
covered by natural law, working with the absolute precision of nature
itself; a process that unfolds the capacities of children as unfold the
leaves and flowers; a system that teaches the pupils that they are in the
plan and part of life, and enables them to work out their own salvation on
the true lines of design and work as illustrated in every natural thing."
A Wealth of Illustration--478 Pictures and 44 Full-Page Plates
showing children and teachers practicing these new methods or their work.
A revelation to all interested in developing the wonderful capabilities of
young or old. The pictures instantly fascinate every child, imbuing it
with a desire to do likewise. Teachers and parents at once become
enthusiastic and delighted over the Tadd methods which this book enables
them to put into practice. Not a hackneyed thought nor a stale picture.
Fresh, new, practical, scientific, inspiring
