The Arts and Crafts Movement
As a reaction to the economic and social effects of the Industrial Revolution, the Arts and Crafts Movement arose in Britain in the 1880s. The Industrial Revolution precipitated mass social change in Britain, as individuals and families left farms and small craft businesses to work in cities and factories. The inexpensive, mass-produced items made in these factories flooded the marketplace and marginalized independent craft workers, forcing these people to accept factory jobs in order to earn a livelihood. The erosion of the cultural and economic significance of skilled craft workers was an affront to a group of intellectuals who valued hand-crafted items.
These intellectuals included William Morris, John Ruskin, and Gabrielle Dante Rossetti, the founders of the Arts and Crafts movement. The Arts and Crafts movement stressed simplicity over opulence, the use of indigenous materials, and honesty in design. The movement influenced design in areas as diverse as architecture, graphic design, wallpaper production, furniture making, and book design. British craftsmen, artists, and architects attempted to create unique designs that were attractive and functional. In Britain these unique items were usually created on commission, and purchased mainly by members of the upper class.
Gustav Stickley and Elbert Hubbard brought the Arts and Crafts movement to the United States in the late 19th century after a visit to Britain. Stickley operated a furniture factory in Binghamton, New York. In 1898 he began designing and marketing a line of furniture based on native materials. This work, known as Craftsman furniture, was intended to be functional, attractive, and affordable to the average working-class family. Elbert Hubbard founded the Roycroft Press in 1893 at East Aurora, New York. He later expanded his business to include furniture and leather shops, a smithy, and an art school. Hubbard died in the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915.
Manual Education in the United States
The introduction of manual arts education in the United States in the 1880s only slightly preceded the arrival of the Arts and Crafts movement in this country. Education in manual training took root in the United States in the 1880s as part of a general movement of educational reform. The purpose of manual education was threefold: to keep boys in school, teach vocational skills, and provide young people with "leisure-time interests." In the early 1900s educators such as Harry E. Wood integrated the principals of "good design" espoused by the Arts and Crafts movement with the practical aspects of manual training. Wood and others believed that appreciation for aesthetic values, as well as lessons in reading, mathematical skills, and scientific principles could be integrated into manual training lessons.
Manual education, as taught and promoted by Wood and other educators, included practical lessons in bookbinding, technical drawing, and making useful and fun objects such as jewelry, picture frames, game boards, kites and windmills. Wood’s students made jewelry and kites, drew plans for gardens, poured cement and cast bronze to make a sundial, and learned shoe repair. Proponents of manual education stressed that lessons should be relevant and hands-on; thereby keeping the student active and interested in staying in school.
Learning how to use tools and machines was only one component of manual education. By 1907 advocates of a growing "industrial education" or "manual training" movement stressed the need for instruction that would provide young adults with practical training in job-related skills. The Smith-Hughes Act of 1917 provided $1.86 million in funding for vocational programs in public schools. As the act came into effect a new educational trend, progressive education, came to dominate American education interests. Advocates of progressive education stressed that children learn better by active involvement in activities rather than by rote memorization and drill. Progressive educators believed that children should be treated as individuals, and that school curriculums should be flexible to accommodate different learning styles. Industrial arts, including home economics and shop courses, provided a hands-on approach to learning that accommodated students who did not excel in academic work or wanted to learn practical skills.
Industrial education did not become an indispensable part of the American education system during Harry E. Wood's lifetime. Support for progressive education, and the development of industrial education in general waned during the 1930s and was out of favor by the early 1950s. The economic austerity of the Great Depression, followed by the entrenchment of conservative values during World War II and the cold war resulted in an American education system that favored a fundamental, academic curriculum.
Emmerich Manual Training High School, Wood High School
Manual training classes were first offered in Indianapolis at a summer school class in the Indianapolis High School in 1883. Summer schools in manual training continued to be taught at this school until 1888, after which mechanical drawing and wood working classes were offered to students at School no. 1 (later Shortridge High School) during the regular school year. William H. Bass, who would later establish Bass Photo Studios, taught the classes at School no. 1.
The popularity of these classes and the concurrent wave of interest by public officials in manual training education led to the construction of a new Industrial Training School building at 525 South Meridian Street in Indianapolis in 1895. The school was among the first institutions in the United States designed to accommodate vocational as well as academic instruction. Three-fourths of the curriculum was academic, which may have made the name "Industrial Training School" a misnomer. The name of the school was changed to Manual Training School in 1899, to Charles E. Emmerich Manual Training School in 1916, and finally to Manual High School in 1960. The school relocated to its present location at 2405 Madison Avenue in 1953. The facility on Meridian Street was renamed the Harry E. Wood Vocational Training School and operated until 1978. As of 2001 Eli Lilly, Inc. owned the building.
Harry E. (Emsley) Wood, Sr., was born 26 September 1879 near Lexington, Illinois, the third child of Emsley Harrison Wood, Jr., and Florence Robinson Wood. The family moved to Indianapolis shortly after Harry was born. Florence Robinson Wood died around 1882 and Emsley Wood married Sallie Bunger Lewis eleven months later. Emsley Harrison Wood worked in various jobs, including real estate sales and as a grocery clerk.
Harry E. Wood attended public schools in Indianapolis until about 1889 when he contracted Scrofulous, a strain of tuberculosis. The condition, coupled with his family's poverty, disrupted his formal education. He attended Manual Training High School in 1899 and worked as a cartoonist for the Indianapolis Star in 1900. Wood illustrated "Our Public Servants,” a column of political satire written by Kin Hubbard.
Wood's affiliation with Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) as an educator began in fall 1900 when he returned to Manual Training High School as an assistant art instructor under Otto Stark. He taught drawing and design at Manual until 1904 when he accepted a scholarship to the School of Industrial Art in Philadelphia. While in Philadelphia he met Bessie Houser, whom he would marry in 1907.
Wood attended art school for one semester and returned to Indianapolis in 1905 when his father fell ill. He taught jewelry making and manual training at Emmerich Manual Training High School and Shortridge High School from 1906 to 1910. In 1911 he was appointed director of Manual Training and Vocational Training for IPS. He was appointed director of Practical Arts in 1923, director of Fine and Practical Arts and Vocational Education in 1932, and director of Arts in 1936. Wood retired from IPS in 1950 and died 21 January 1951 in Indianapolis. He is buried in Crown Hill Cemetery. His wife, Bessie Houser Wood died in 1956.
Harry E. Wood suffered with arthritis from ca. 1935 but continued to be an active administrator, educator, speaker, and craftsman. He taught summer school courses in design and industrial arts at colleges and universities throughout the country, including Cornell University; Prang Art School in Cayuga, New York; State College of Washington at Pullman; Indiana State Teachers College, Terre Haute; Oregon State College in Corvallis; and Peabody College, Nashville, Tennessee. His students were primarily teachers. Wood's wife Bessie, and children Harry Jr., Albert, Virginia, and Leora often accompanied him on these trips. During World War II Wood was the supervisor of War Production Training for Indianapolis. He taught at Butler University in Indianapolis from 1945 until his death.
Wood was also active in professional organizations. He served as president of the Western Arts Association (1919–21); president of the Indiana Vocational Association (1927); secretary of the Western Arts Association (1927); president of the Design Guild (1928); and president of the Indiana Industrial Education Association (1932). He was also on the board of directors of the John Herron Art Institute and a member of Epsilon Pi Tau and Iota Lambda Sigma fraternities. Wood was ordained as an elder in the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church in 1925 and was associated with the Central Avenue Methodist Church for many years. He was also active in the Mystic Tie Masonic Lodge.
Wood published two books before his death: Progressive Problems in Mechanical Drawing and Pre-Vocational and Industrial Arts. This collection contains manuscript and visual material from Progressive Problems in Mechanical Drawing and another manuscript, Principals of Design.
Harry E. Wood was passionately interested in improving manual and industrial education instruction in American public schools. He was also a student of Otto Stark and a follower of the Arts and Crafts movement. His interest in “beautiful design,” and commitment to educational innovation and reform is reflected in the drawings, designs, speeches, lectures, class materials, and personal items in this collection. Wood's ideas present dominant themes in American education from the early 1900s to the 1950s.

Box 5 contains illustrated, step-by-step lesson plans for manual arts projects. Wood used these lesson plans during the 1940s and 1950s while teaching summer school courses for teachers at Butler University in Indianapolis.
Oversize manuscript material in Series 1 is stored in three OVA-size boxes (boxes 6-8) that are stored in the Printed and Manuscript Materials storage area of Visual Collections. Box 6 includes two scrapbooks that contain clippings, articles, and speeches written by Wood in the 1920s. Box 7 contains copies of the journal Studio Year Book of Decorative Arts dating from ca. 1905 to ca. 1909. Copies of the Industrial Arts Magazine dating from January 1916 to January 1919 are stored in Box 8. Wood used these publications as sources for design ideas and pedagogy early in his career.
Series 2: Graphics includes illustrative and craft material related to Wood’s teaching career and personal activities. Material stored in Upright Graphics boxes 1-3 includes stencils, photograms, blueprints, and albums. The albums include sketches (pen-and-ink, and pencil) and block prints. Wood made the sketches, while the block prints appear to be examples of students’ work. OVA Graphics, Box 1 includes pencil sketches of flowers drawn by Wood between ca. 1897 and ca. 1903, and a series of watercolor paintings of flowers. Other illustrations stored in this box include pen-and-ink, and pencil drawings likely used in classes to show techniques in press printing and shoe repair, and drawings used in Wood’s books Progressive Problems in Mechanical Education II, and Principles of Design.
OVA Graphics, box 3, contains works made principally by Wood in watercolor, charcoal, pen-and-ink, and graphite. OVB Graphics, box 1, includes illustrations from Progressive Problems in Mechanical Education II, and Principles of Design. Illustrations that show aspects of shoe repair, and blueprint drawings of simple furniture designs and craft items are also stored in this box. OVB Graphics, box 2, contains Japanese stencils made or purchased by Wood ca. 1906.
Wood operated the Wood School of Design from ca. 1904. Only letterhead and little else documents the Wood School in the collection. Wood used the letterhead as notepaper (Manuscripts, box 1, folder 4).
Series 3: Photographs includes black-and-white images of jewelry, fabric patterns and furniture designed by Wood between ca. 1905 and ca. 1920. Wood used photographs on a limited basis to illustrate lessons. Images in the folder titled Design Ideas [Monument Circle, Columbia Club] in Photographs, Box 1, Folder 4, show examples of ornamental ironwork on structures on and around the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Indianapolis. Images of Wood consist of portraits made between ca. 1881 and 1946. Photographs of Wood as a baby and as a young man decorate a hand-copied poem titled O Little Mother of Mine by Walter H. Brown.
Series 4: Personal, includes diaries, letters, legal documents, and clippings dating from 1906 to 1958. Correspondence includes two letters written by Harry E. Wood to Bessie Houser Wood in June 1922. Wood wrote the letters while traveling to Pullman, Washington to teach at the State College in Pullman. Wood also kept a diary of his experiences at Pullman. The diary includes entries made by Wood on the journey to Pullman by train, via Minnesota, Montana, and Idaho. Wood comments about the condition of towns passed along the route, the landscape, the weather, and the behavior of passengers on the train. Other entries describe sightseeing trips to locations in Washington State. The diary and correspondence are stored in Manuscript Collections: box 9, folder 6.
Wood kept a second diary that documents his activities in Washington State in July 1922, and his return trip by train to Indianapolis (Manuscript Collections: box 9, folder 7). The text of the diaries shows that Wood was a keen observer of behavior and surroundings. In an entry dated 22 July possibly in Spokane, Washington, Wood describes the furniture in a hotel lobby as being arranged in a “living room style” which gave a “homey atmosphere seldom seen in a hotel lobby.” He goes on to say that “the stifling odor from the cigar smoker was missing here and instead you saw the hats doffed by men as they passed through or sat down. The predominant colors, ivory and gold, were toned up with spots of oriental red and Persian blue, and saying the color scheme was rich is putting it mildly. My three dollars spent here was a paying investment.”
Other correspondence in this series consists of a letter from Mrs. C. H. Barnaby of Greencastle regarding a piece of Wood’s jewelry (Manuscript Collections: box 9, folder 2), and letters to and from lawyer Edwin Steers of Fenton, Steeres, Beasley & Kee of Indianapolis regarding tax and lease payments on property at Lake Tippecanoe, Kosciusko County (Manuscript Collections: box 9, folder 5). Legal documents include a lease agreement for the Tippecanoe property and the deed for the Wood home at 5015 College Avenue (Manuscript Collections: box 9, folder 4).
Material related to Wood’s craftwork includes a notebook that lists an inventory of jewelry made by Wood between 1906 and 1910. A note written by Harry Wood, Jr. in 1983 is inserted in the notebook. The note discusses Wood’s work habits, family, and friends.
Series 5: Artifacts includes furniture made by Harry E. Wood: one work bench, one sewing table, one drop-leaf table, one desk, one rocking chair, and one desk chair. Wood did not make the chairs, but the desk chair is upholstered in a sample of Wood’s hand-stenciled fabric. The series also contains fourteen samples of hand-stenciled fabrics made by Wood ca. 1907-ca. 1912. Other items include coaster sets, memo holders, letter openers, a wooden box, a portable easel, and leather portfolio. Colleagues presented the portfolio to Wood in 1947 at a banquet held in his honor. The artifacts are stored in the Artifacts Storage Area of the Indiana Historical Society.
Series 6, Albert H. Wood, is stored in Manuscript Collections: box 9. The series consists of printed and manuscript material created or accumulated by Harry E. Wood’s son, Albert H. Wood. Three folders contain class lists, lesson plans, notes, and grades associated with teaching activities at Butler University between 1951 and 1956. Restrictions on the use of class lists and student grade records, as outlined on page 1 of this collection guide, apply until 1 January 2025. Folder 15 includes clippings regarding Wood High School. The clippings date between 1953 and 1980. Series 7, Harry Wood, Jr., is also stored in Manuscript Collections: box 9.
