Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electricity and Magnetism: Lessons of the National School of Electricity; Prepared Under the Immediate Direction of the Faculty; General Course Oung men and women, and older ones too, who have time and money at their disposal, who have been blessed with a sufficient preparatory education, and who desire to learn some thing about electricity either for pleasure or profit, may do so by entering and taking the very comprehensive courses at the colleges and technical schools. But there are many of our brightest mechan ics, artisans and business men who have not had the benefits of a sufficient primary education, especially in mathematics, to enable them to pass the more or less exacting entrance examinations required by the technical schools and colleges, and these and many others also may not be able to part with the time or money necessary to secure these benefits. It is to these classes of people that the National School of Electricity especially appeals, and to meet their require ments, several conditions must be met. Ist. The course of instruction must be of an eminently practical character so that the knowledge acquired may be immediately utilized. 2d. The course must be furnished at times and places con venient to participants during their leisure hours as they cannot go to school it is necessary that the school be brought to them. 3d. As it is not always expedient to have graded courses, it is necessary to bring the course of study within reach of those of even ery limited education, yet have it include all that may be essential for the interest of advanced students. 4th. In order that the theories and practice of electricity may be taught together, it is necessary to employ actual working apparatus for the purposes of demonstration at all stages of the work. The lessons of the school were prepared to meet these conditions, by Prof. Dugald C. Jackson, with the assistance and suggestions of other workers of the faculty of the school. The course of lessons has now been thoroughly revised and many additions have been made where the advances of the science of electricity' and its application have made it desirable, and some alterations suggested by the experi ence of the instructors of the school, have been incorporated. As a large new edition of the lessons is now being issued, and a consider able demand for complete sets of the lessons bound in permanent form has arisen among the members of the classes of the school, this volume is issued in response to this demand. The volume contains the lessons of the general course of the school as they are used in the instruction of the classes.
