Preface
The question of constructive work in the primary grades has received a great deal of attention during the past few
years. It is maintained that the Kindergarten training should not cease abruptly at the child's entrance in the first 
primary grade, and that constructive work should occupy a place in the program all through the elementary school.
It is further the consensus of opinion among educators, that this work should be intimately correlated with the other
instruction.

After a series of experiments extending over several years with classes of pupils in the public schools, and after a 
thorough study of the educational principles governing the work in the lower grades, we present this outline with the
hope that it may give some profitable suggestions to teachers and thus help to solve the problem of constructive 
work in the primary grades.
