Excerpt from Domestic Science, Vol. 1
Special attention has been paid to those portions of the subject which experience has shown are usually imperfectly grasped - perhaps on account of the difficulty of providing the student with ready examples of domestic application - and the theoretical side of the subject, e.g. the ideas of "energy" and of "molecular action", is treated more fully than is usual in works of similar character.
Parts I and II will provide sufficient material for a course of at least two years for pupils in secondary schools, and will be found to cover the requirements of many examinations, such as the Oxford Senior Local and those held under the auspices of the Board of Education at the various Domestic Training Centres.
The author's thanks are due to Messrs J. and A. Churchill for permission to reproduce Figs. 20, 27, 79, and 95, and to Messrs Macmillan and Co. for Figs. 21 and 87. For many valuable criticisms and useful suggestions, received from the General Editor of the series while the book was in the press, the writer tenders his grateful thanks.
