A graded manual of hand-training lessons for primary and elementary schools, covering paper folding and construction, free paper-strip weaving, cardboard construction, reed (rattan) basketry, and raphia braiding and sewing. Each model has step-by-step directions with line diagrams, from kindergarten level to grammar grade. The sections on reed and raphia cover mats, trays, baskets, dolls, bags and small novelties, and the book ends with knotting and cord work such as whistle chains and a minnow net. The scanned copy is the seventeenth thousand, dated 1916, with the original copyright of 1901.
