Abstract

THE stream of physics text-books continues to flow. The large number of institutions in which this subject is now taught probably makes inevitable a corresponding multiplicity in the text-books issued. Each teacher or group of teachers finds something lacking in the books available for his classes, and at the first opportunity a new manual is produced. But besides the stimulus of this thoroughly healthy quest of the ideal, the requirements of examination syllabuses are important factors in giving rise to publication. Each examination has its independent syllabus somewhat arbitrarily selected from the suggestions of the members of a board, meeting in committee, and the result is that every examination is thought to require a special text-book by those who wish to secure a maximum of passes for their pupils at the least expenditure of labour.
