Excerpt from Elements of General Science Science instruction in the first year of the high school has presented one of the most serious problems in secondary school work. The results of modern science are extensively used in almost all kinds of human experience, and the seien tist's way of working is recognized as the most reliable method. It is also generally recognized that education by use of science should lead to better understanding and better use of the types of scientific knowledge which relate to com mon experience. It is therefore the object of this course to develop a usable fund of knowledge about common things and helpful and trustworthy habits of considering common experiences in the field of science. It is expected that pupils' interests and abilities will be discovered and utilized in such ways that more effective and more profitable work may be done in the vocations or in later studies. The course presented in this book is the result of ten years of experiment in secondary schools. Teachers of subjects other than science, and administrative officers who are study ing the efficiency of the whole high-school curriculum, have been constant observers and critics of the experiment. Teachers who have used the course have made many contri butions to it. Its present form and content are the outcome of the cooperative efforts of many science teachers who believe that the methods of experimental science must be used in organizing and testing science courses.
