This book had been prepared primarily for use in junior high schools to give to the pupil a general knowledge of a variety of activities so that he may select intelligently and wisely at the proper time, the vocation or profession to which he seems best adapted.

But this book, with 100 projects would still be a tremendous aid not only for the home schooled child, but for anyone who may be interested in woodworking.
