Children in an American Children's House carrying the material they have chosen to their tales. The girl on the right is holding the "geometry cabinet." Photo: McClure, New York, 1912. The geometry cabinet has six drawers and holds 32 different geometrical insets: squares, circles, triangles and polygons of wood. The set also includes a frame into which six figures can be inserted. The child learns to recognise the different shapes both visually and through touch - T. Müller, R. Schneider, Lehrmaterialien 1913-1935. Möbel und Architektur. Techning Meterials 1913-1935.
