Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Laboratory Guide for Histology: Laboratory Outlines for the Study of Histology, and Microscopic Anatomy The purpose of this little book is economy of time and labor for both the Instructor and Student. It is a common experience in our Anatomical Laboratories that the student taking courses in Histology and Microscopic Organology spends a large part of his time in doing tilings which arc not essential to the accomplishment of the actual purpose of the courses. He wastes time in vague application of histological technique which is involved in neither the title nor the real purport of the work. He proceeds to study a subject without a definite concept of what is best to be done and how best to go about it, and without forethought of economic distribution and use of his time. He will begin a drawing from a preparation without having first decided what special features the drawing should most advisably illustrate, without having thought out the amount of magnification and the style of drawing most suited to the purpose. The too frequent consequence is that the time allotted to a course is so poorly utilized that the student actually covers a far smaller portion of the ground purported to be the object of the course than he may be led to cover if guided in a more definite manner as to what to do and how to proceed. This Laboratory Guide, therefore, is offered to the student and instructor with the hope that it will be an aid toward the accomplishment of a greater amount of that work which may lie correctly designated The Study of Histology and Microscopic Anatomy, and an aid, further, toward an improvement in the quality of that work. On the other hand, it is not intended that it shall, in any way, lessen the tendency to nor decrease the amount of independent work on the part of the student as regards all the essential features of his studies. Kather, the suggestion and stimulation of independent thought has been kept in mind throughout the construction of the guide. The Outlines as here given embody what the author has used with his classes during the past six years. Corrected and revised from year to year, (hey have heretofore been issued to the student in mimeographed form and. in their revision, restriction has been more and more made to those studies deemed most essential and to the amount of work which experience has shown that the average class in Histology may be induced to cover in the allotted time. As offered by the author, the entire work has required the equivalent of three three-hour periods per week throughout one school year.
