Excerpt from Physical Laboratory Handbook This book is designed to provide a suitable number of experiments for a course in Physics, including those needed to meet the entrance requirements of colleges and universities. It will be found especially convenient in the schools that use the author's "Elements of Physics" as a text-book, because the order of subjects is the same, but it can be used also in connection with other texts. An attempt has been made to avoid a too detailed description of apparatus or method of experimentation and rather to give suggestions from which the pupil, with the assistance of his instructor, can work out such details as the apparatus at hand will require. A pupil generally learns more from an experiment if he devises his own apparatus than he does if he uses apparatus provided for him. Tables of physical constants are omitted for the reason that they are to be found in most text-books of Physics and because every laboratory should be equipped with at least one copy of the "Smithsonian Physical Tables." This book is not expensive, and it furnishes all the tables that are likely to be needed for reference. Hering's "Conversion Tables" is also a desirable reference book. The form of notebook to be used by the pupil in which to record the work done in the laboratory, is left to the discretion of the teacher. Colleges and universities generally require a certificate for the notebook, in a form which can be obtained from them.
