Excerpt from Chemistry in the Home
This book is the product of an effort to meet the needs of pupils who elect chemistry in their high school course. It aims to train them in scientific thinking and to give them a fund of information concerning the chemistry of everyday things, related to industries and the home.
Much of the theory common to high school chemistries has been omitted, because it has been found to be unnecessary, in fulfilling the purpose of this text. Constant effort has been made to keep the language and style simple and to select subject matter suitable for boys and girls in the high school. The book represents the result of many trials and much elimination from an overcrowded field of subject matter.
It would have been impossible to prepare the book without the efficient aid of my colleagues of the Manual Training High School of Brooklyn, New York. I wish especially to thank Dr. Charles D. Larkins, the principal of the school, to whose suggestions the book is primarily due, Mr. Charles Germann, who has read the proof and made numerous suggestions. Dr. William Lamb, Mr. Mattuck, Mr. Holly, and Mr. Foster. Mr. Frank Rexford, of Erasmus Hall High School, Brooklyn, has allowed the use of his food tables in the food chapter, and assisted in the preparation of the chapter. Miss J. Jenness, of the Girls High School of Brooklyn, has used the notes in her classes and has made many helpful suggestions.
