Selected Woodwork Shop Problems | by George A. Seaton
The persistent demand for certain numbers of the Manual Training Magazine has made it evident to the publishers that some of the articles in these numbers ought to be reprinted and sold at such a price as will enable teachers to purchase them in quantities for use in their classes. Moreover, it is believed that from time to time in the future, the Magazine will publish articles which, owing to their special value, ought to be reprinted soon after they appear in the Magazine.
