Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The object before the teacher of needlework should be to educate her pupils to be intelligent workers with the needle and to develop faculties within them which will benefit them for life. The training should be made as interesting as possible. Children like to do the things they know how to do, and, having once learned to sew, can be taught orally, or by reading aloud to them, many useful things connected with their work, for, when the hands are occupied, the mind is particularly acute and receptive.
