Excerpt from The Ontario High School Laboratory Manual: In Physics This Laboratory Manual has been prepared to accompany the Ontario High School Physics. As will be seen, it contains a large number of exercises. A considerable number arc qualitative, being intended to introduce new ideas and impress fundamental principles; but the majority are quantitative, and arc intended to lead to methods of accurate measurement of physical quantities of various kinds. By making the number of exercises large and giving alternative methods for performing some of the experiments, schools whose supply of apparatus is not large will be able to choose a satisfactory course suitable to their equipment. In many cases the apparatus required is so simple that it can be constructed by the teacher or by the senior students. Nothing can be more interesting or advantageous to the ingenious student than to construct his own apparatus, and wherever possible this should he encouraged; the necessary apparatus, moreover, is of an inexpensive nature and can now be readily obtained in the Province.
