Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Outdoor Games for All Seasons Although the present book is addressed to the same class of readers, it is neither a substitute for nor a supplement to "The American Boy´s Handy Book," from which it will be found to differ in scope and character. "The American Boy´s Book of Sport" is not intended as an encyclopædia of games. The purpose of the book is to deal only with subjects whose novelty or practical character meets the especial need of the up-to-date American boy who demands explicit and intelligent explanations of what is of use to him. The many years spent as a member of the Board of Education in Flushing, Long Island, and as a teacher of art in New York, have impressed upon the author the importance of early training for children in the use of their hands. It is with the purpose of stimulating this sort of schooling that the author appeals to parents and boys to encourage the home production of kites, boats, and sleds, etc.; for the ingenuity and self-reliance thus developed are valuable qualities in a boy or man.
