Inside Finishing
WOODWORK AND CARPENTRY -- FINISHING -- PREFACE TO THE SERIES - THIS series consists of five volumes, four of which are intended as textbooks for pupils in manual-training, industrial, trade, technical, or normal schools. The fifth book of the series, the Handbook in Woodwork and Carpentry, is for the use of teachers and of ilormal students who expect to teach the subjects treated in the other four volumes. Of the pupils volumes, the first two, L Elements of Woodwork and Elements of Construction, are adapted to the needs of students in manual-training schools, or in any institution in which elementary moodwork is taught, whether as purely educational handwork, or as preparatory to a high, or trade, school course in carpentry or vocational training. The volumes Constructive Carpentry and Inside Finishing are planned with special reference to the students of technical, industrial, or trade schools, who have passed through the work of the first two volumes, or their equivalent. The subject
...s treated are those which mill be of greatest value to both the prospective and the finished workman. For the many teachers who are obliged to follow a required course, but who are allowed to introduce supplementary or optional models under certain conditions, and for others who have more liberty and are able to make such changes as they see fit, this series mill be found perfectly adaptable, regardless of the grades taught. To accomplish this, the material has been arranged by topics, which may be used by the teacher irrespective of the sequence, as each topic has to the greatest extent possible been treated independently. The author is indebted to Dr. George A. IIubbell, PhD., now President of the Lincoln Ihlelllorial University, for enconmgeme lt and advice in preparing for ailcl plall ling the series, and to George U. Swain, Principal of the Eastern Iiig-11 Scllool of Bay City, Miclligan, for valuable aid in revising the in nuscript.
