Excerpt from Practical Mechanics: An Elementary Manual for the Use of Students in Science and Technical Schools and Classes This book is intended as a Laboratory hand-book for the use of students in Science and Technical Schools and Classes, and as a guide to teachers in arranging machines and apparatus, and courses of Laboratory work in Practical Mechanics. For the past ten years I have given considerable attention to methods of teaching elementary mechanics in a practical way, and with such varied students as are to be found in a great public school, a university college, and a technical institute. My experience has shown that with large classes it is almost impossible to have all the students working at the same experiment, or even at the same kind of experiment, at the same time, and I have felt the need of some assistance to the teacher which should start the student on his work, describe the apparatus to be used, give him sufficient directions to carry out the experiment in the right spirit of inquiry, suggest to him how to analyse the result and what he should have learned from it, and then to provide a useful test of his work in the form of suitable exercises illustrating the experiment.
