The work in the sloyd-rooms forms a whole with
the theoretical instruction. Although this work has a
greater number of hours devoted to it than have the
lectures and discussions, still, the execution of the
models is not to be regarded as the essential part of
the course but more as an elucidation of the method.
The teachers taking part in the courses obtain too, it
is true, the series of models which are intended to be
used as material for instruction in the schools. And,
of course, a certain dexterity in the handling of tools
and in the execution of work is also acquired, although
in such a comparatively short time as six or twelve
weeks any real skill in sloyd in the actual meaning of
the word can scarcely be aimed at. What can be
gained during that time in a technical respect is, at the
most, some prospect of being afterwards able to aquire
— either alone or under the direction of another — the
skill necessary for giving instruction in sloyd.
The work in the sloyd-rooms, of which there are
four, is carried on under the direction of the
headteacher in sloyd at the school. The direct instruction
is given by assistant sloyd-teachers who are
appointed for each course. The fact that the assistant
teachers are not permanently appointed, facilitates in no
small degree the efforts which have uninterruptedly been
made to prevent, as far as possible, the instruction from
becoming one of routine. For educational instruction
is, of a certainty, exposed to no greater danger. As
matters have developed themselves, the Seminary has
always had the opportunity of choosing suitable men
and women assistant-teachers for any course from out
of the great number of students in previous courses.
This can be done without feeling any sense of being
bound for the future; for these occasional assistants in
