Primary methods; a complete and methodical presentation of the use of kindergarten material in the work of the primary school, unfolding a systematic course of manual training in connection with arithmetic, geometry, drawing, and other school studies
A teaching manual by W. N. Hailmann, published in New York and Chicago by A.S. Barnes in 1887, presenting kindergarten material for primary school pupils and linking manual work with arithmetic, geometry and drawing. The pictures are line-based paper-folding and cutting diagrams: a radiating star of triangles, a symmetrical cut-paper rosette, folded circles with segment patterns, and grid-and-line construction layouts, all in plain black ink on cream paper that a designer could use for geometric pattern or modular layout ideas.
