Bead Stringing
Excerpt from Bead Stringing
It is not only best to begin his manual training as early as possible, but also to have it well organized as to the use of points, lines, and surfaces. We give him organized train ing in the use of language, and also the code of morals and manners which the race has discovered to be essential. Is it not equally as rational to give him the benefit of these fundamental elements of construction which long ages of handwork have discovered, namely, the embodied point, line, and surface?
The following exercises have been tested with the children of the first, second, and third grades of one of the Chicago Public Schools. In these exercises it is taken for granted that time is always allowed for free invention with each new element as soon as the child has mastered it sufficiently to use it consciously as a tool obedient to his will. But only a few of these inventions are here given, as each new set of children will create new designs for themselves.
