Description
The value of manual occupation for children has long been recognized. Yet on introducing manual work into communities where it has never before been taught, many pupils are apt to consider it a degradation of school work proper, and maintain an injured air when asked to work a visible, material problem, by making a box; as though their dignity was injured by descending to the handling of "base matter." But give them the same thing in abstract numbers, and they feel that they have something worthy of their thought. They would doubtless be surprised to be told that such sentiments are the relics of paganism and bigotry; yet to prove it so, we have only to study the education of the past. During the reign of paganism the masses were kept in ignorance; education was reserved for the few—the patrician class.
