Excerpt from Chemistry for High Schools
All the text-books on Chemistry authorized for use in the Public and High Schools of Ontario contain far too much matter for class purposes, and as a consequence many teachers have been compelled to teach the subject by the use of notes. This little book has been prepared chiefly for the purpose of lessening the labor of note-making on the part of teachers, and of note-taking on the part of pupils. It will require to be supplemented by explanations from the teacher, for whose use most of the ordinary text-books on Chemistry seem designed.
No apology is necessary for the insertion of a large number of chemical problems. On the utility of these as a means of teaching the subject, Professor Roscoe says: "My experience has led me to feel more and more strongly that by no other method can accuracy in a knowledge of Chemistry be more surely secured than by attention to the working of well-selected problems." On this same point Professor Cooke, a leading American chemist, says in his First Principles of Chemical Philosophy: "The value of problems as means of culture and tests of attainments can hardly be over-estimated."
I have to express my indebtedness to Professor Dupuis, of Queen's College, for valuable suggestions in preparing this manual, and for kindness in reading the proof-sheets.
