Abstract
MR. MUNBY is well known as an ingenious and successful architect of science laboratories, and his large book on laboratory design and equipment is generally recognised as the best work on the subject. The present book deals with a more circumscribed topic, namely, the fittings of school laboratories. A handbook of this kind, embodying the results of long and wide experience, cannot fail to prove of great assistance to educational authorities and to exercise a beneficial effect upon science teaching in the schools. As Mr. Munby truly says, the present-day cost of education calls for a high efficiency in the material requirements of teaching, and particularly in laboratories the need for intelligent planning and fitting is urgent.
School Laboratory Fittings.
