Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Chemistry for High School Students Children are fond of pulling things apart; perhaps they wish to try to see how things are made and of what they are made. Older people are in some respects like children; they also want to know how things are made and of what they are made. But the objects of their curiosity are not, as a rule, articles manufactured by other men, but rather the vast number of things which are found in nature, such as water, air, wood, stone, coal, flour, fruits, eggs, etc. Grown people have done much at this taking things apart and have found out much about the composition of many things in nature and how they are made. They have called the process of taking things apart to learn their composition analysis. In many cases also men have learned to put things to gether to make substances and this is called synthesis. The people who do this kind of work are said to be chemists, and the study connected with the work is called chemistry. It is a very large study and its importance is very great, for it has done much to improve many of our manufactures.
