Stran 25 - ... the Legislature shall provide for the maintenance and support of a thorough and efficient system of free public schools for the instruction of all the children in this State between the ages of five and eighteen years.
Stran 145 - One great object of the school is to foster a higher appreciation of the value and dignity of intelligent labor, and the worth and respectability of laboring men.
Stran 28 - Any city or town may, and every city and town having more than ten thousand inhabitants, shall annually make provision for giving free instruction in industrial or mechanical drawing to persons over fifteen years of age, either in day or evening schools, under the direction of the school committee.
Stran 175 - ... foster a higher appreciation of the value and dignity of intelligent labor, and the worth and respectability of laboring men. A boy who sees nothing in manual labor but mere brute force despises both the labor and laborer.

The habit of working from drawings and to nice measurements has given the students a confidence in themselves altogether new.

A shop which manufactures for the market, and expects a revenue from the sale of its products, is necessarily confined to salable work ; and a systematic and progressive series of lessons is impossible, except at great cost. If the object of the shop is education, a student should be allowed to discontinue any task or process the moment he has learned to do it well....
Stran 500 - 6, Theoretical Mechanics. „ 7, Applied Mechanics. „ 8, Acoustics, Light, and Heat. „ 9, Magnetism and Electricity.
Stran 143 - Manual training is essential to the right and full development of the human mind, and therefore no* less beneficial to those who are not going to become artisans than to those who are. . . . The workshop method of instruction is of great educational value, for it brings the learner face to face with the facts of nature ; his mind increases in knowledge by direct personal experience...
Stran 27 - Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations.
