Synopsis
From an educational standpoint, sciences are taught inH igh Schools, and schools preparatory to Colleges, for two quite distinct reasons :to train the student in powers of observation and accurate description, and to cultivate habits of exact thought and statement. Certain sciences can be learned directly in the laboratory, where the student himself performs the experiments, observes the phenomena, and draws his own conclusions. Such are Chemistry, Botany and Biology; and for these studies in their elementary stages a laboratory manual is the form of text-book which is most helpful. Other sciences must be studied in the open country where Nature herself is performing or has performed the experiments. Such areG eology and Physical Geography. But the phenomena of Physics are too complicated to be described by any student left unaided, or to be understood when demonstrated, unless he is guided by a suitable text-book containing the theory of the subject. In other words, Physics must first be taught in the class room, where the student may see demonstrated and explained those experiments on which the science is based. To teach Physics without lecture experiments is almost worse than useless. For a student beginning the subject, laboratory instruction in Physics is of secondary importance.
