Excerpt from Physical Laboratory Manual: For Secondary Schools The number and variety of laboratory manuals in physics now on the market are so large that the merits of a new one are hardly to be sought in novelty of content, but rather in the utility of the material chosen from the abundant common store and in the method of presenting it. Believing that these are both matters Of great importance and that the possibilities of improvement in them have not yet been exhausted, the author has written this manual in the hope that it will con tribute toward this end. Since both the choice of material and the method of treat ment are in a large measure determined by the view enter tained in regard to the place and function of the laboratory work in the course in physics, a brief statement on this point seems desirable. Rejecting the extreme view that little im portance is to be attached to any part of the work except the laboratory course, as well as the opposite extreme which rele gates this part of the work to the position of a supplementary adjunct to the old form of text-book instruction, the author has adopted in his teaching and has assumed as the controlling principle in the preparation of this manual the View that the laboratory course should stand in coordinate relationship to the work of the class room; which, in his opinion, should include as important elements qualitative experimental work by the teacher, the systematic study of a good text-book, as large a use of reference books as time and opportunity permit, a constant appeal to the everyday experience of the pupils, and, finally, the recitation or quiz, in which the information gleaned from the several sources is classified, organized into scientific knowledge, and assimilated.
