Excerpt from Laboratory Exercises: With Outlines for the Study of Chemistry to Accompany and Elementary Text The primary object of the authors in preparing this book is to place in the hands of the science teachers in the State a laboratory manual adapted to the average high-school requirements. In it we have endeavored to emphasize the value of laboratory in struction in the laboratory. The aim is to give the student facts, practically of his own finding, before a discussion and correlation of these facts. Our experience in teaching has led us to the conclusion that to reach the best results a student of chemistry must first be given experimental work. In this way his interest is sufficiently aroused to hear with profit descriptive lectures, or to read with some attention the discussion of facts and principles as found in elementary text-books. To this end he is carefully guided in his experimental work, after which he is expected to study the subject of his experiment in one or more of the texts referred to at the end of each exercise. These texts are not necessarily the best that might be given, but they are in many cases the only ones available to the pupil. They are in all cases those found to be at hand in class use or otherwise in the high schools of this State.
