Excerpt from Theory of Physics
To present successfully the subject of Physics to a class of students, three things seem to me necessary: a text-book; a course of experimental demonstrations and lectures, accompanied by recitations; and a series of laboratory experiments, mainly quantitative, to be performed by the students themselves under the direction of instructors. I place "text-book" first, because for many reasons I believe it to be the most important of the three. None but advanced students can be trusted to take accurate and sufficient notes of lectures; and a text-book which states the theory of the subject in a clear and logical manner so that recitations can be held on it, seems to me absolutely essential. Another great advantage of a text-book is that a student provided with one does not need to take notes on the lectures, and so can give his undivided attention to the explanations and demonstrations which are being presented.
It has been my aim in writing this book to give a concise statement of the experimental facts on which the science of Physics is based, and to present with these statements the accepted theories which correlate or "explain" them.
