What to read after Elementary Woodwork for Use in Manual Training Classes?

Excerpt from Elementary Woodwork for Use in Manual Training Classes

The object of this work is to place before pupils who are beginning woodwork such information as will lead to a correct use of the tools and lay a good foundation for advanced work without lessening in any way the other benefits of school shop work.

It is designed for elementary rather than technical instruction, and therefore many problems and suggestions found in other works have been omitted. Great care, however, has been taken to arrange and illustrate the exercises employed so that pupils will avoid the common error of using tools improperly in the first years of work, and thus escape fixing habits which later will cause much trouble. We are certain there is no need of using tools improperly in the first years of shop work.

The work is so arranged that each new lesson contains a step in advance, yet is so closely related to the previous exercise that an ordinary pupil may properly comprehend and execute the new problem.

This book is intended for class use, and the author has endeavored so to arrange and grade the exercises that they may be followed very closely.
