Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Arts for Old and Young The custom of giving presents at Christmas originated in Germany. It was derived from the ancient feast of Sol. The children of many Americans, who remember Christmas, hang up their stockings Christmas Eve, think ing Santa Claus will come in the night and fill them with gifts. Some, to avoid being roused at too early an hour, have taken a large bag, as a receptacle for pres ents, and the father or mother of the family in due time distribute the presents. Others have had a table spread with their gifts of love, or place their gifts carefully under the breakfast plates, or on the chairs at the table. But the German custom of Christmas trees is by far the most desirable. We wish it was universal here. The writer of this assisted in preparing almost the first tree in our portion of New England, but since then the Christ mas tree has spread far and wide a tree more productive of pleasure and fun was never before planted.

Download or read book Chapters in the History of the Arts and Crafts Movement Classic Reprint written by Oscar Lovell Triggs and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chapters in the History of the Arts and Crafts Movement The primary motive of the arts and crafts movement is, as the name implies, the association of art and labor. Initially an English movement, it has been slowly emerging from the general in dustrial field for about forty years, though its difi'erentiation into a distinct phase of industrialism belongs to the last ten years. I count 1860 as the approximate year of its beginning, vvhen William Morris built his famous Red House on the out skirts Of London, and served his apprenticeship to the industrial arts by designing and executing the decoration and furniture of his home. On its theoretical side the movement is, of course, much older than forty years, its development as an idea being measured by the lives of Carlyle, Ruskin, and Morris.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handicraft for Handy Girls: Practical Plans for Work and Play IT is a mistaken idea that girls cannot drive a nail straight. I have seen a girl drive home a nail as expertly as any mechanic can, and the success with which girls are competing with boys in some of our manual-training schools is proof enough that with practical application and proper guidance any girl can become efficient in wood-working. The main reason for a girl's not succeeding in driving nails straight is lack of confidence, the result of having failed in her first attempts and, possibly, having pounded her fingers. Just as long as this distrust of one's self exists will the nails drive crooked, bend over, and fingers be mashed. The difficulty will be entirely eliminated if these simple directions are followed.

Download or read book Toy Making in School and Home Classic Reprint written by Ruby Kathleen Polkinghorne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Toy-Making in School and Home The girl takes pains to carry out her work (neatness is often the sole aim put before her), the boy finds methods. The girl hovers round the well-known place, the boy makes a bee-line to fresh fields. See how this affects reading: the girl still hankers after What K aty Did, What Katy Did Newt, while the boy of her age is reading Jules Verne or Ballantyne or Henty, or if there is open access to shelves in the Free Library near him, you see him finding books on Airships, Submarines, Carpentry, or Engineering. We started our voluntary classes with these ideas in mind, and at first allowed girls to choose an indoor occupation in the two winter terms instead of outdoor games. Many girls preferred games, but others chose Art or First Aid or Cookery or Handwork or Needlework. They had to work at least a term at the chosen occupation. We felt that the girls gained great benefit from the hobbies, not only in the additional happiness of working at what they enjoyed, but in an increase of freshness of mind for other work. This year we have gone still farther and have given each girl one period of voluntary work in addition to a whole afternoon for games or gardening; moreover, the four lowest forms have each one period of class work in toy-making yet even now the children say that the time is too Short. It is really amusing to see a change of classes in the woodwork-room the first class dare not and cannot stay a minute after the bell has rung, for the second class is in and already at work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mountain Homespun These exhibits are not all that IS left to tell the story of the old crafts, for throughout the eastern states of our country may be found specimens of the work done on the looms. In New England the practice of home weaving was in general abandoned long ago, though lingering, doubtless, in remote spots until after the I 8 5o's. There are many old coverlets in good preservation, some woven in the more common fashion with overshot designs, on four sets of harness, others on six sets 5 more rarely one is found woven on five sets, and a few beautiful specimens remain of the true double weave, which required eight or more sets of harness. There are homespun blankets, too, and linen sheets and table linen; bits of linen from dresses, one with a crossbar of copperas, yellow on pure white, and preserved as the lining of a quilt.

Download or read book Craftsman Homes written by Gustav Stickley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Craftsman Homes: Architecture and Furnishings of the American Arts and Crafts Movement S A nation we do not easily submit to coercion. We want a hand in the government, national or local. We are pretty direct if we do not like a senator or a governor, and express our Opinion fully of our ministers and college presidents. In more intimate matters of courtship and marriage we regard ourselves as more independent than any other nation. We marry usually whom we please, and live where we please, -and work as we please but when it comes to that most vital matter - building a home, individuality and independence seem to vanish, and we are browbeaten alike by architect, builder, contractor, interior decorator, picture dealer and furniture man. We live in any old house that anyone else has discarded, and we submit to all manner of tyrannies as to the size, style and finish of our houses, impertinences that we would not permit in any other detail of life. We not only imitate foreign ideals in our architecture, but we have become artificial and unreal in all the detail of the finish and fittings of our homes. How many of us would dare to rise up and assert sufficient individuality to plan and build a house that exactly suited our personal ideal of comfort and beauty, and represented our station in life? And to what extent can we hope for finer ideals in a country that is afraid to be sincere in that most significant feature of national achievement - the home. We are a country of self-supporting men and women, and we cannot expect to develop an honest significant architecture until we build homes that are simple, yet beautiful, that proclaim fine democratic standards and that are essentially appropriate to busy intelligent people. That this same state of affairs prevails somewhat in other lands (though nowhere to the same extent as in America) we realize from the writing of two well-known English architects, Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin, who in a series of lectures published under the title of The Art of Building a Home have entered a plea for greater honesty in architecture and greater sincerity in decoration which ought to strike a responsive chord in the heart of every American who has contemplated the foolish, unthinking, artificial structures which we have vainly called homes.
