Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Progressive Lessons in the Art and Practice of Needlework, for Use in Schools
During several years' experience in teaching sewing, I felt the need of a text-book which would explain needlework from its rudiments and give directions for practical demonstration in class work. For my own use, I planned a course of instruction for the pupils of the W. H. Lincoln School, 'brookline. Its use has given such satisfactory results that a demand has arisen for its publication. For valuable assistance, sincere thanks are due to Miss Marion S. Deveraux, First Superintendent of the South End Industrial School, Rox bury, Mass.; Mrs. Joshua Crane, Member of the School Board, Brookline, Mass.; Miss Florence M. Starbuck, Teacher of Drawing, South End Indus trial School, Roxbury, Mass.; and Mr. Arthur R. Wilmarth, Photographer.
