Excerpt from An Introduction to Mining Science: A Theoretical and Practical Textbook for Mining Students The education of the miner in the scientific and technical aspects of his work is receiving attention from National and Local Education Authorities, from the employer, and what is more promising still, from the miner himself. This has resulted in throwing into the melting-pot old schemes of instruction, in the skimming Off the dross, and the introduction of the experimental method into Class work. The latter it is felt will sustain interest; it is sure to develop intelligence and correct ideas. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
