A HOLDER FOR THE PARTS OF A MODEL
Before proceeding further, some kind of a permanent holder should be provided to keep all together the various pieces of the model. This prevents the confusion and loss of time incident to passing several kinds of materials each by itself.

One lesson might be used for the making of a portfolio for this purpose, cut from screenings or heavy wrapping paper, and patterned after an envelope, from 6” × 9” to 9” × 12” in size. (See Plate VI.) The contents are more securely held by providing some kind of a fastener. The following method is a good one: In the center of one side of the flap plan to punch a hole. This should first be re-enforced by cutting from heavy paper a circle of ³⁄₁₆ to ⅜ radius and pasting it in the correct place. Through both thicknesses punch the hole. Into this insert twine, first looping it in the centre and then passing both ends through the loop. Use this to tie the envelope.
If large pads of paper are used in the schoolroom, their cardboard backs may be utilized. Take two of the same size, punch holes along three sides of each, near the edges and lace them together. If one of the long sides of the resulting holder has been left open, materials can be removed with greater ease than if a short side is so used. A set of holders thus made is very durable.
New paper bags make good holders although less desirable than either of the other two.
