Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Surveying: For Surveyors' Assistants, Vocational, and High Schools Modem texts on surveying assume the student to have completed the mathematical work in high school and college in algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry and analytical geometry. This book is a serious attempt on the part of the author to meet the needs of students whose mathematical preparation does not extend beyond the arithmetic given in the grade schools. It is intended therefore to be a text book in high schools, vocational schools and evening classes. It is intended also as a text for self-tutored men in the employ of surveyors who wish to become surveyors. The author knows the need for such a book is real. He is entering upon his twenty-eighth year of practice as a civil engineer, sixteen years of which were spent in the far western states in the Rocky Mountains and along the Pacific Coast. He has served as city engineer in medium-sized cities, as a deputy county surveyor and as a United States Deputy Mineral Surveyor. He taught surveying in evening classes in schools operated not for profit and the lessons prepared for his students have been revised as the result of the teaching and are now placed in book form. It is hoped the book will satisfy the large number of inquirers for a simple work on the subject. A text book should be accurate and clear. It should be well balanced, especially so when intended for men who will obtain little help from teachers. Above all it should be readable.
