Abstract
EXPERIMENTAL work has so thoroughly established its claims to a reasonable share in the curriculum of every secondary school that very few schools are now without proper laboratories. No inconsiderable number of these schools are, however, beyond the limits of the ordinary gas supply, and the question of providing a substitute for coal-gas has presented no little difficulty. The matter became urgent some time ago at the Llanberis Intermediate School, mainly for heating purposes, but also for lighting. Investigation seemed to point to two possible substitutes—acetylene and gasoline. Both have been used, but not to any very large extent, in this country. An account was given in the School World for January 1902, of the use of acetylene in Felsted School.
