A Swiss peasant can cut down a tree and in his moments convert it into $500 of carving by the application of skill. HANDICRAFTS "The making of handicrafts is essentially a part time Industry, carried on by women and children or by men in the idle months of winter. It makes the people more contented and builds up a stronger and more interesting type.
