Excerpt from First Lessons in Metal-Working
The first year of instruction in handicraft, as experience in the College of the City of New York has shown, may be given to wood working or metal-working with about equal advantage. The minute accuracy, the acquaintance with geometrical construction, and the habits of neatness and cleanliness which are essential in the one are offset by the judgment, forethought, and artistic freedom of the other. Both constantly teach the lesson of orderly procedure, careful attention to instructions, and, where a text-book is used, of minute and thoughtful reading, such as takes in the full significance of every proposition and every limitation of it. The feeling of good-fellowship which results from struggling with the same difficulties, and occasionally, as in woodworking, and still more frequently, as in forge-work, lending a helping hand to each other, is a valuable part of the product of workshop training in either department.
