Excerpt from Easy Experiments for Schools and Families: With Home-Made Apparatus The author of these few pages on Experimentation with out costly apparatus, has felt the want of a cheap treatise on the subject, giving directions to teachers and others how to illustrate some of the important principles of natural science, by simple experiments. He has waited from year to year, heping that some one more competent than he might prepare a small volume on the subject. But while he waited in vain, he also felt that precious time and opportunities were lost, and that however imperfect, some directions of the kind here pre sented were better than none. He has also found by experi ence, in his school work of a quarter of a century, that there is nothing so well calculated to interest the young in the study of science, and to beget a taste for scientific research, as mak ing these simple experiments in the schoolroom, and even delegating the work to some members of the school. He has had the satisfaction of observing how his experimenting over a bucket full of water, twenty-five years ago, has resulted in producing some of the best and most practical scientists in the land, who, from the day that their interest was aroused, in this way. In the study of science, have pursued the study and attained efficiency and distinction. These few pages are submitted to parents, teachers and pupils, in the hope that similar and even greater good may be accomplished by the circulation of this volume, than by his oral instruction and lectures in schools and institutes, We are under obligations to Prof. G. Dallas Lind, Our Bodies, T/ie Scientific A me: ican, and others for assistance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
