ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to examine the history of
manual training within the Seventh-day Adventist
educational system and determine its relationship to the
development of manual training in the public schools of
America. Consideration was also given to the present
status of manual training within the Adventist system.
The research design was historical in form, and data
were gathered covering three special areas: (a) the
development of manual training in American public schools;
(b) the establishment of Seventh-day Adventist education?
and (c) the present status of technology education (the
great-grandchild to manual training) within Adventist
secondary education.
Research for this study centered around primary
documents from early Adventist education located in the
James White Library on the campus of Andrews University.
Primary documentation was also obtained from current
bulletins and curriculum guides used in Seventh-day
Adventist secondary schools throughout the United States.
Materials pertaining to the development of manual training
in the public schools of America were mostly secondary
documentation from historians of the late 19th and early
20th centuries.

The findings of this study were that manual training
was, and still is, a foundation stone of Seventh-day
Adventist education. Had early developers of Seventh-day
Adventist education followed the inspired counsel
concerning the importance of manual training to a holistic
education given in 1872 by Ellen G. White, the church
matriarch, Adventist education would have been on the
cutting edge of American educational reform. As curriculum
requirements increase at all levels of education, public
and private, the pressure in Adventist schools has resulted
in reduced emphasis being placed on this foundational
principle of the Adventist educational system.
