Excerpt from Introductory Chemistry: Suitable for Use in Lower Schools and Continuation Classes
Chemistry has been prescribed as part of the elementary science work for the lower forms of high schools and for continuation classes. The intention seems to be that the subject should be used at this stage for strictly educational ends rather than for the acquisition of masses of chemical facts and theories by the pupils. If this is correct the objects to be attained by the study will chiefly be facility in manipulation, and training in observation and in accuracy of deduction.
This book has been prepared as an aid in carrying on this work, but only as an aid. There are functions in education that no book can perform, but that are dependent on the personal relations of teacher and pupil. The individuality of the learner will often determine what quantity and what kind of guidance, suggestion and discussion are needed; but direction and supervision are essential elements of any scheme of observational work.
