Margaret J. Blair Manual of Exercises in Hand Sewing

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. A refined taste in one's dress and belongings has usually been regarded as an acquirement of adult life. But if the child is trained along wholesome natural lines, his taste will develop individuality very early. To introduce sewing successfully in the public schools, three important points must be considered. First, the merit of the system. Second, the effect upon the school work and upon the pupil. Third, the abil ity or efficiency of those who superintend or teach the sewing.
