Excerpt from Laboratory Guide for a Twenty Weeks Course in General Chemistry: Containing Detailed Instructions for the Successful Performance of Over 150 Experiments in General Inorganic, Chemistry, and Useful Tables of Reference for Pupil and Teacher The Laboratory Method of teaching chemistry is thoroughly established. Its superiority over the old lecture methods has been and is being constantly demonstrated, in the increased use of text-books and manuals introducing chemical principles in simple form, and in the encouragement of teachers who see in the Laboratory the means of high development on approved pedagogical grounds. This method implies the adaptation of the chemical course to the capacity of the average pupil, not only as to apparatus and chemicals, but in the far more important matter of the comprehension of results and the development of great principles. Simplicity in the former respect is attained by the use of materials whose handling is least involved and complex. Success in reaching results and conclusions lies in the correct use of the facts observed. In the course, of which these experiments are a part, little use is made of the lecture-room experiment and only an occasional lecture is introduced as a rounding-up or development step, following the work in laboratory and quiz. The experiments themselves are simple, but reasonable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
