This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Metric System of Weights and Measures That Great Britain is not ready to adopt the metric system is evidenced by the fact that quite recently the British Parliament rejected a bill proposing to make the metric system compulsory. If Canada is anxious to do something in the matter it might be well for her to give some attention to the present movement in the United States as expressed in a bill introduced into the House of Representatives by Mr. Towne. This bill prepares for a commission, to be made as representative as possible, and to be empowered to consider and investigate not only the metric system, but the whole question of weights and measures, and to invite Great Britain, and hence her colonies, to join forces with the United States in the investigation. Such a commission would evidently arrive at such conclusions as would be worthy of serious consideration.

It has also been adopted officially by Venezuela, Uru guay, Turkey, and British India, although in these four countries it can hardly yet be said to be in common use. Japan, too. Has announced her intention of adopting a modified form of it, and even China has a decimal system of weights and measures, although it is not the French Metric Sys tem. England, Russia, and the United States are the only great nations that still refuse to adopt the Metric System. Its advantages are many, and the only really serious objection appears to be, that the change from our present units to the new ones would be more or less confusing and annoying for the first few years. Much of this annoyance and confusion could be pre vented by providing school children with cheap sets of metric measures and weights, and requiring each child to measure and weigh a certain number of objects every week. In this way the units and their. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The International Metric System of Weights and Measures The following was prepared to answer some of the more simple questions addressed to the Bureau of Standards in regard to the metric system of weights and measures and its use. The essential features of the system were embodied in a report made to the French National Assembly by the Academy of Sciences in 1791. A number of other nations were invited to cooperate with France in establishing the new system, and Holland, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain, and several minor States were represented on an international commission which. Met in Paris in 1799 to accept the metric standards constructed under the direction of the French Institute. Although the metric system very soon attracted the favorable attention of other nations, it was not until forty years later that its use became general in France. Since 1840, however, its use has rapidly spread until at the present time it is either obligatory or permissive in every civilized country in the world. Its use was made lawful throughout the United States by act of Congress in I866, and at the same time provision was made to supply every State in the Union with a set of metric weights and measures.
