The tools used by Mr. House of the Toledo Manual Training-School are somewhat different. The material may be soft woods, such as gum, elm, poplar^or pine, the first two of which split with great difficulty. Thelater exercises may be in harder wood, such as black walnut,mahogany, rosewood, or oak, — the last being preferred forhigh relief: but exercises in high relief should usually be de-ferred till a subsequent course in an art school. I am indebted to Mr. N. W. House of the Toledo ManualTraining School for the following series of graded elementaryexercises with regular wood-carving tools. They have served asthe basis of our exercises in this direction during the past year. The thickness of the wood varies in the different exercisesfrom three-eighths to three-quarters of an inch.

Grooving with and across the straight gouge, I wide, No. 11. Cut, not split, the the tool sharp, and work the tool along wholly by hand.
