520 _a"Kitecraft and Kite Tournaments" by Charles M. Miller is a practical guide on kite construction and the organization of kite tournaments written in the early 20th century. The book explores various aspects of kite-making, detailing plans and techniques suitable for both educational and recreational purposes. It aims to promote not only the craft of kite-making but also community engagement through tournaments and shared activities. The opening of the work begins with a dedication to Chris Curnow, the project manager who contributed to its preservation as a digital transcription. It sets the tone of the book, highlighting the significance of kite-making in schools as a means to incorporate more experiential and "life-like" education. Miller introduces the idea that kite-making serves as a valuable tool for engaging boys—especially those who may not respond to traditional teaching methods—while fostering community spirit during annual kite tournaments. The introduction and preface establish a strong focus on creativity, education, and socialization through hands-on activities, indicating that the book will provide a wealth of information on building and flying kites, as well as the cultural aspects surrounding this pastime.
