Note 3 — Chapter XI · THE INTELLECTUAL EFFECT OF MANUAL TRAINING.

“In conclusion, we are of opinion that special instruction which can be applied to the material would be at once more fruitful in good results and more attractive if the pupil could go from the class-room to the workshop (laboratory) to practically demonstrate the theories to which he has just been listening. In support of this opinion we might add the observations made in our own evening-schools, where the most noteworthy and rapid progress is made in those cases where the pupil has occasion to put into actual practice on the material itself the instruction which he has received in the drawing-class.”—“Report of Committee of Council of Arts and Manufactures of the Province of Quebec, created to Inquire into the Question of Practical Schools.”
