Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Experimental Physics for Secondary Schools This book originated three years ago in the necessity for a thorough revision of the laboratory manual then in use in the Chicago High Schools. About a year ago the undersigned, who up to that time had done most of the work of revision, were requested by the Physics teachers of the city to complete the book and prepare it for publication. The policy of the Chicago Physics teachers has been for several years to make the laboratory work inductive as far as possible. This book is written from this point of view. The pupil is told very little that he can find out for himself by a reasonable amount of work, in the course of his experiments. The authors are not so visionary as to suppose that pupils can, unaided, rediscover the laws of Physics, but they know that, if sufficiently careful directions are given to pupils for the performance of experiments, and definite instruction is given them as to the manner of studying results many of nature's great laws will be learned first-hand. And these will be much more strongly impressed than when learned from a text-book or from the teacher's experiments. The experiments have been carefully selected with a view of developing some principle of Physics as well as of training the intellectual faculties. They are mainly quantitative, though some are qualitative, since qualitative experiments performed by the pupil himself will frequently appeal to him in a way that is absolutely-impossible if performed by the teacher.
