This work is -usually conducted in special shops and by special teachers, -and the question is being raised whether, with all these advantages, -more vital results might not be attained.</p> - -<p>Whether these criticisms are justified or not, the present -interest in industrial education is strengthening the demand -for more effective construction work in grades four, five and -six. It is a growing conviction that there must be laid, in -the earlier grades, a strong foundation on which to build a -practical education in the later grades whether directed -toward industrial, commercial or professional life.</p> - -<p>The appearance of this book, therefore, is timely because -it outlines a course suitable for grades five and six -which stimulates constructive activities and develops industrial -intelligence. It should be noted that its industrial -significance is much wider than its title, “Bookbinding for -Beginners,” would indicate, as even a hasty examination of -the book will show, and also that it is so planned that it -may be used successfully in schools where special teachers -and expensive equipments are impossible.</p> - -<p>The book is different from, and, I believe, superior to -others of its kind for the following reasons:</p> - -<p>First, because the projects it presents, the methods -it advises, and the results it anticipates have all been worked -out by actual experience with thousands of boys and under -conditions which may be duplicated in almost any schoolroom. -The author’s personal experience with the problems<span class="pagenum" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</span> -incident to the giving of manual training by the grade -teacher includes that which she gained as a successful grade -teacher herself, supplemented by some years of supervisory -work in a large city system. She is therefore conversant -with every possible phase of the school problem.</p> - -<p>Second, because the methods of instruction which the -book employs are such as to develop in the pupils the very -qualities which are the surest foundation for subsequent -success in manual or mental work of any kind, namely -initiative and originality combined with intelligent, logical, -careful attention to details.</p> - -<p>Third, because it gives the teacher just the help needed -to save her from all unnecessary work in securing and handling -suitable material, in stimulating the pupils to intensive -activity and self-expression, and in judging or measuring -the results of her work, without relieving her of the necessity -of intelligent effort on her part. It thus gives the overburdened -teacher the maximum help, and the specially interested, -the maximum opportunity for original supplementary -work.</p> - -<p>For the above reasons I confidently recommend the -volume to the attention of all who are seeking to introduce -an inexpensive but effective form of manual training into -the middle grades of the elementary schools.</p> - -<p class="r large"> -Frank M.

Some of the most valuable suggestions -have been obtained from the teachers and are an -outgrowth of their classroom experience. Nothing is here -presented which is simply theoretical.</p> - -<p>To Mr. John C. Brodhead, a deep appreciation of his -keen criticism, his helpful suggestions, and his never-failing -interest cannot be too strongly expressed. For their valued -suggestions, thanks are due the teachers of Boston whose -efficient labors have insured the success of the course. Acknowledgment -is also made of indebtedness to the Sloyd -Training School for material, and to Miss Helen E. Cleaves -and Mr. Ludwig Frank for their interest and assistance in -the details pertaining to design.</p> - -<p class="r large"><span class="smcap">The Author.</span></p> - - -<hr class="full x-ebookmaker-drop" /> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_7">[Pg 7]</span></p> - -<div class="figcenter"> -<img src="images/fig1.jpg" alt="" /> -<p class="caption">BOOKBINDING FOR BEGINNERS</p> -</div> -</div> - -<p class="drop-cap">AMONG the various materials which lend themselves -readily to a manual training course with large classes -are those of the bookbinders’ craft. They are inexpensive, -easily handled, and require no tools or equipment that cannot -be used in an ordinary classroom. The operations -necessary in the use of these materials not only give excellent -training in manual dexterity, but present remarkable opportunities -for the practical application of studies in proportion, -space division, color, lettering and applied design. The craft -itself is one that comes in touch with everyday life and any -skill acquired in the use of these materials is of permanent -value.</p> - -<p>The lessons to be outlined in the following series presuppose -some instruction in paper-folding, cardboard construction, -and simple mechanical drawing. Though desirable, -this is not essential. While in some ways better suited -to the middle grades of the elementary schools, selection -may be made from the lessons here outlined which will give -excellent training to the upper grades in those schools where -the curriculum does not include shop-work, cooking, or -sewing.</p> - -<p>To secure this flexibility of the course, each problem -is outlined in several ways, with varying degrees of difficulty. -The selection should depend upon the grade in which it is -to be given. Some of the more dexterous pupils may be -able to work out a problem in several ways.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</span></p> - -<p>In each lesson outlined, there is a chance for the exercise -of individuality in the details of the model as to size, shape, -decoration, and color. Concerning choice of material, it -seems wiser that this should be exercised by the teacher or -supervisor rather than by the pupil.</p> - -<p>The object of the course is educational, not industrial, -therefore, those methods which stimulate inventiveness, -ability to plan simple work, and dependence on one’s own -initiative are most desirable.</p> - -<p>The directions given under each problem have been so -worded that they call for the greatest amount of thought and -initiative on the part of the worker. The use of such instruction -develops power to think, to plan constructive work and -to carry it to completion. At first, it may be necessary for -the teacher to elaborate some points especially in connection -with the working drawings or sketches, but after a little -training, each pupil should be able to lay out and cut all -parts from his own drawings; as the work progresses, he -should depend less and less upon the teacher’s assistance -in making his plans.</p> - -<p>High standards of work and correct processes should -always be set before the pupil, and these are best assured by -the teacher becoming thoroughly conversant not only with -the general construction of an article to be made, but with -the best methods of securing neat and accurate results. -Eventually, the pupil’s mental attainments will show in the -tangible work of his hands.</p> - -<p>Two hours each week for one school year may profitably -be devoted to this work. In the upper grades some of the -easier problems should be omitted, and more time devoted -to actually bookbinding, introducing as much variety as -time and materials will allow.</p> -<hr class="full x-ebookmaker-drop" /> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_9">[Pg 9]</span></p> - -<h2 class="nobreak">EQUIPMENT</h2> -</div> - - -<p>This equipment is sufficient for the whole course and -should last for several years.

The former is less likely to be confusing. -The easiest and quickest method is to have the squares -printed in dark ink on white or light gray paper of good -quality, and fairly tough. The use of linoleum is suggested -as one method of printing squares, or a line plate may be -made, the squares printed from it and finished linings for -the checkerboards furnished to those who are making<span class="pagenum" id="Page_44">[Pg 44]</span> -them. The light squares may be left as they are or may be -colored with water color, crayon, or oils. All the outside -squares should be lined in, either when printed or afterward -by hand. A border line about ¼” outside the squares -adds very much to the general appearance.</p> - -<p>If all the markings and coloring must be done by -hand, paper commercially ruled into ¼” squares is recommended. -This secures accuracy, and saves much tiresome -ruling. Three such spaces on each side form a ¾ inch -square and when the checkerboard is laid off by small -dots on outside lines, proceed to color alternate squares -by one of the following methods:</p> - -<p>A. With soft pencil darken alternate squares leaving -others of the original color. Begin with the upper row, -and take successive rows downward. Across the paper -lay a rule just below the lower edge of the squares to be -darkened. With the pencil make vertical strokes only, -using the side of the pencil to give an even surface free -from ridges. Be careful with the lines at the right and -left edges that they do not extend into the adjoining space. -The edge of the rule will stop the strokes at the right place -at the bottom and they should not extend quite to the top -as this can be adjusted later. When all rows are finished, -turn paper around so that what was top is now bottom, -and complete squares by the same method.</p> - -<p>B. Instead of pencil, colored crayons may be used -in the same manner as already described.</p> - -<p>C. Crayons of two colors may be used in alternate -squares, or one color and a black pencil. Orange and black -or red and black are pleasing combinations.</p> - -<p>D. Ink or water may be applied with a brush.</p> - -<p>When completed place the “board” so that a dark -square is in the upper left and lower right corners respectively, -and cut open vertically, removing about ¼” from<span class="pagenum" id="Page_45">[Pg 45]</span> -the center two halves. If no space is left, the paper soon -cracks in folding; if too little space is left, the edges soon -turn and later become ”dog-eared“; if too much is left, -it is confusing to the players, as theoretically there should -be no space at all. Paste these pieces to each half of the -cover, placing them about ¼” apart, and dry flat under -weight.</p> - -<p>When thoroughly dry, the inner surface should be -varnished with shellac or valspar to give stability to the -color. Otherwise, it soon becomes rubbed and the appearance, -if not the utility, of the board is spoiled. One coat -is sufficient to hold the color, but if a polished surface is -desired two are needed.</p> - -<p>The question of coating the outside with shellac or -other polish is an open one, and may be decided to suit -the individual taste.</p> - -<p>It is sometimes desirable to show that an article is -the product of the schoolroom, and in this case a neatly -printed label with a space for the pupil’s name, etc., may -be pasted to the outside.</p> - -<p>If larger boards are desired make the squares one inch -in size leaving ¾” margin.

Two grades of -sandpaper give a better finish than one.</p> - -<p>To play the game, it is necessary that there should -be two colors of checkers. Some woods present sufficient -difference in their natural colors to serve this purpose, but -it is generally better that one set at least should be artificially -colored. For this, use stain or ink. Place some of the -fluid in a shallow dish, and drop the checkers into it. Remove -at once with nippers or two sticks, and lay on a paper -to dry.</p> - -<p>Most stains will stand some water, but common ink -would wash out if rained on. So to preserve the color, -checkers dyed with ink should afterward be dropped into -a thin shellac and taken out and dried. Those of natural -color should also be shellaced as they keep clean much -longer. After the shellac is dry, there is a little roughness -on the surface. If this is rubbed off with fine sandpaper -the checkers are much more agreeable to handle. Twelve -checkers of each color are needed for a set but three or four -extra ones may be added.

The width of the corner piece, -exclusive of the laps and measured on a line bisecting -the right-angle, should equal the width of the strip of vellum -which shows at the back. This rule holds true in all high class -bindings such as morocco, Levant, calf, etc. (See Plate LIV.)</p> - -<p>By experimenting a little, a pattern (trapezoid) may -be made for the corner pieces by which to cut them. (See -Plate LIV.)

Using the -same pattern as for the vellum corners, fit its two opposite -non-parallel edges as close to the corner as possible and cut -along the inside edge of the pattern. Or, one may place the -newsboard on the paper and trace around it, lay off the size -of the finished corner and cut on the resulting oblique line. -After the vellum corners have been pasted on firmly, place -the cover paper carefully and paste it on as already described.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_89">[Pg 89]</span></p> - -<p>(B). After the “case” is completed in either of the two -ways described, it may be decorated with lettering or by the -application of other design. In this instance the suggestions -given in connection with the portfolio should be followed.</p> - -<p>(C). The entire “case” may be covered with vellum. -Generally a cloth covering is not desirable on a hand-sewed -book, but if for a special reason one is to be used, have a single -piece of vellum cut large enough to cover both back and -sides. After finding the correct distance between the two -pieces of newsboard, lay them on the vellum, in the manner -already described, trace around them, and complete the -“case” by pasting.</p> -<hr class="full x-ebookmaker-drop" /> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_90">[Pg 90]</span></p> - -<p class="c">Problem XV</p> -</div> - -<p class="c large">SEWING A BOOK ON A FRAME</p> - -<p class="less"><span class="smcap">Time and Materials</span>: As for Problem X, except bookbinder’s twine is to<br /> -be used instead of tape.</p> - - -<p>To carry out this problem a few common wood-working -tools will be necessary.

The binding may be made stronger by “whip-stitching” -the fly-leaves after they are pasted in. For this -purpose, take an ordinary sewing needle (about No. 2) and -linen thread (No. 35). Begin at the right and, with “over-and-over” -stitches about ¼ of an inch apart, sew through -the outside signature and the fly-leaves. A knot should be -made at each end to fasten the threads. Turn the book over -and repeat the operation on the opposite side.</p> - -<p>(B). If heavy paper is used for the fly-leaves, the outside -leaf should be torn or cut off carefully before putting -on the case. Leave just a narrow margin at the fold to hold -the other half from coming out. This being done, there is -but one thickness with which to line the cover, but two free -leaves are left as before.</p> - -<p>(C). Head-bands may be used on a book sewed on a -frame.

Any book is made more attractive by using -colored “end papers” or fly-leaves. These may be of the -same material as the cover or of contrasting material. -A small surface pattern worked out in crayon or water -color for this purpose makes an excellent problem in applied -design and at the same time adds much to the appearance -of the book. When using any paper for fly-leaves which -has a right and wrong side, the sheets should be folded -wrong side out. Note that only two folios of colored paper -should be used while the other two are white—that is at -each end of the “book” there will be one white folio with -a colored one inside it. When stacking the sheets to apply -the paste, place a colored sheet at the bottom, then a white -sheet, then a colored sheet, and a white sheet on top. -When pasting these to the book, this brings a white sheet -first and a colored sheet inside, so that when pasted to the -“case” one-half forms its lining and the other half is free.</p> -<hr class="full x-ebookmaker-drop" /> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_94">[Pg 94]</span></p> - -<p class="c">Problem XVI</p> -</div> - -<p class="c large">REBINDING A PAPER-COVERED BOOK</p> - -<p class="less"><span class="smcap">Time and Materials</span>: As for Problem XIV or XV except the “book.”</p> - -<p>Signatures for sewing may be obtained by taking apart -some good paper covered book.
