Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Making of a Trade School The Manhattan Trade School for Girls began its work in November, 1902. The building selected for the school was a large private house at 233 West 14th Street, which was equipped like a factory and could comfortably accommodate 100 pupils. Training was offered in a variety of satisfactory trades which required the expert use of the needle, the paste brush, and the foot and electric power sewing machines. Beginning with twenty pupils on its first day, it was but a few months before the full 100 were on roll and others were applying. In endeavoring to help all who desired instruction the building was soon overcrowded. It thus became evident that, unless increased accommodation was provided, the number already in attendance must be decreased and others, anxious for the training, must be turned away. It was decided that even though the enterprise was young the need was urgent, demanding unusual exertion. It would therefore be wise to make every effort to purchase more commodious quarters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public Trade School Early in the year 1907, a problem, which gradually had been growing more and more serious, had to be fairly met and solved. It was a question of finances. To charge students the cost of their tuition in a properly conducted trade school means to debar the very ones who need the instruction. Equally impractical is it to expect a few to bear the expense of a work so valuable to the entire community. The need of such a school was proven the first day it opened its doors. From its outset it was making better workmen and better citizens. It was the opportunity and privilege of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Asso ciation to start such a work in the life of a city, but it was not its bounden duty to continue it. The child grew beyond the power of its parent to support it. Since the work brought a rich harvest to the municipality, the municipat should bear the expense of the sowing. The solution of the problem lay in having the trade school included in the public school system of the city. To do this, a tax, additional to the one already levied for the public schools, was necessary. This extra assessment could be collected only by the permission of the state legislature. Con sequently, a bill was prepared and presented to that body early in 1907. It met with immediate indorsement in both Assembly and Senate. It passed and became effective July 1, 1907. The Milwaukee Board of School Directors immediately seized its Opportunity to take over a trade school well equipped to teach three trades and with one and one-half years' experience in pioneer work. On account of this progressive step on the part of the public-school authorities the original subscribers deeded the entire equipment of the school to the city in fee simple.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wood Pattern-Making: A Text Book for the Use of High School, Trade School, Technical School and College Students An experience Of seventeen years in teaching pat tern-making and kindred subjects has made me feel the great need of such a work as this which I now Offer as a textbook for students in technical and manual training schools, and universities. A number Of excel lent books On the subject have been published, to be sure, but most Of them assume on their reader's part previous acquaintance with the fundamental ideas Of pattern-making; such as do treat at all of the element ary part Of the subject, happen to be works Of an exhaustive character, which are consequently too ex pensive for use as textbooks. The present work, therefore, will, it is hoped, find a field Of usefulness for itself. It is Of course to be recognized that as pattern making is an art, it cannot be learned simply by reading any book on the subject, but only by practice. Still a textbook may afford valuable assistance even to the artisan. This work, however, has a further and more important purpose, - that Of imparting to the engineer or the draftsman the fundamental principles Of pattern making. For only as he is in possession of these can he make designs for patterns in accordance with which shopwork can be performed in the most efficient and most economical manner. The reader should also understand that this work, being designed only as an elementary treatise, in no way exhausts the subject.

This book was released on 2018-04-22 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essentials of Drafting a Text and Problem Book, for Apprentice, Trade and Evening Technical Schools The evening technical school has been rapidly developing during recent years. From a makeshift it is coming to occupy a field distinctly its own. The ambitious man attending an evening technical school is fully the equal of his brother at the day technical school and his worth is being increasingly realized. The foundation subjects mathematics, mechanics, and draw ing - require particular attention in evening courses, where the time may be somewhat limited and the needs of the student varied. This book has been prepared for Ohio Technical Draw ing School students as part of a technical course. Progress in engineering work of any kind depends upon an intimate knowledge of mechanical drafting as the language of the engineering world. Its possibilities must be understood. The mere drawing of lines and more or less copying of exercises or sketching from a few models is far from the purpose of a draw ing course. The value of drawing as one of the working tools to be treasured and used during a lifetime in the most useful of professions, engineering, should be realized. It is as an aid in the study, and later use of engineering knowledge, that drawing finds its place. These preliminary remarks may serve to explain the makeup of the book.

Download or read book A High School Course in Wood Pattern Making Classic Reprint written by Joseph Henry Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A High School Course in Wood Pattern Making This book is the outgrowth of seven years of teaching experience in both Trade and High Schools. The author submits the book on the ground that we can all benefit by the experience of others. Work on Pattern Making are not as numerous as the importance of the subject warrants. The various articles in this book follow each other in what seems, to the author to be the natural sequence. To begin the subject the teacher lectures on The Metal Trades (Chapters I and II), and the manufacture of iron products, so that the pupil can learn exactly what part pattern making plays in the commercial world. Then the wood working exercise in Chapter III should be started. Before beginning it, however the pupils, as a class, should be made to remove the plane bit and sharpen it and learn to replace it correctly. Pupils dislike to take a plane apart until the teacher proves to them that it is a simple operation. While the pupil is working on the exercise, certain periods should be devoted to lectures and recitations on Moulding and Pattern Making, Chapters IV and V, so that these chapters are covered by the time the exercise is finished. Then the student will understand and can begin making the simple patterns in Chapter VI. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A History of the Book in America written by David Paul Nord and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth volume of A History of the Book in America addresses the economic, social, and cultural shifts affecting print culture from World War II to the present. During this period factors such as the expansion of government, the growth of higher education, the climate of the Cold War, globalization, and the development of multimedia and digital technologies influenced the patterns of consolidation and diversification established earlier. The thirty-three contributors to the volume explore the evolution of the publishing industry and the business of bookselling. The histories of government publishing, law and policy, the periodical press, literary criticism, and reading--in settings such as schools, libraries, book clubs, self-help programs, and collectors' societies--receive imaginative scrutiny as well. The Enduring Book demonstrates that the corporate consolidations of the last half-century have left space for the independent publisher, that multiplicity continues to define American print culture, and that even in the digital age, the book endures.
