Synopsis
Excerpt from Industrial Studies and Exercises
The following studies in industrial work are based upon the arts and industries of the Filipino peoples. Few countries can show so many kinds of attractive handiwork suitable for teach ing in schools. Trees, plants, and grasses which in other coun tries have to be brought from afar to furnish the materials for this work here grow abundantly.
The Filipinos have two fine gifts. First, the quickness of their hands; perhaps no other people in the world learn so easily to use their hands and fingers cleverly. Second, the artistic sense; they love beautiful things colors, patterns, and pictures -and they love to make them. This talent shows itself not only in the paintings of such great artists as Luna and Resurreccion, but still more strikingly in the many beautiful articles made by humble people.
