others after models in use in the schools of Cleveland, Ohio.
The working drawings of these projects have been planned with special reference to the gradual introduction of the conventions of mechanical drawing. The simpler conventions are in keeping
with the present trend in the practice of the best drafting rooms. The indefinite length of blockingout line as used in these plates is a device intended to keep ever before the beginner the draftsman's
method of attack. Experience has shown this to be a most effective way to discourage line drawing

to meet this need, and the problems of Groups I-IV in his book have been used by the author in
connection with plates of Groups VII and VIII with very great success. While not directly connected with the woodwork, they form a most effective method of reviewing the principles of drawing given in connection with the plates of Groups I-VI.
The directions under "Notes on Drawing" and "Notes on Woodworking Projects" are for the
pupils' use. They are not intended in any way to take the place of a careful demonstration, but are
