Excerpt from Laboratory Manual: Of First Year Science for High Schools
Because of the present general demand for a course in first year science in the high school, this manual has been prepared. As stated in the introduction by Principal J. C. Hanna, the father of the elementary science idea as embodied in this manual, "these exercises are the result of twelve years of experiment and search for interesting and fundamental scientific matter adapted to the age and preparation of pupils entering the high school." In their present form, they have been used in this school the past two years.
A child's first knowledge of science does not deal with the differentiated sciences as such. He comes in touch with science in all its phases. This course aims to acquaint him with some of the elementary truths of the physical, as well as the biological, sciences with a unified body of knowledge, by a logically arranged series of experiments.
All experiments, unless marked "Demonstration," are performed by the student, who thus gains his knowledge first-hand from the experiment.
The history of the course has been given by Mr. Hanna in the introduction.
