"Construction Work for Rural and Elementary Schools" by Virginia McGaw is an instructional guide focused on teaching construction techniques for schools written in the early 20th century. This volume aims to assist rural teachers by providing straightforward models and projects spanning various crafts such as cord construction, paper construction, wood construction, basketry, and school gardening. The book is designed to enhance children's appreciation for handiwork by engaging them in practical, constructive activities. The opening of the text presents a preface in which McGaw expresses her desire to help rural teachers and provide them with simple construction models that can be made with minimal preparation or materials. She outlines the organization of the book into five distinct parts, each emphasizing a different type of construction project, providing clear, step-by-step instructions alongside illustrations. The introduction emphasizes the importance of teaching children how to value their materials and the effort that goes into making projects, ensuring that educators understand the significance of appropriate guidance during the learning process.
