The book describes the Russian system of shop instruction which was introduced in the early 1870's and exerted a strong influence on the development of manual training in Western Europe and America. The book also examines the influence of the educational theories of Friedrich Froebel, whose ideas on the importance of manual training had a major influence on the development of the kindergarten.
