Abstract

FOR the past twenty years or so, a movement has been afoot for a more liberal approach to science in the schools ; and, although this movement has latterly shown signs of becoming widespread, there are still many masters and mistresses who hesitate to put their belief in it into practice. One serious drawback to the wider adoption of courses in general science has been the lack of text-books from which the ordinary work of the laboratory or the classroom might be supplemented or even directed.
