Présentation de l'éditeur
This text presents the course of instruction given by the author to the freshman classes at the University of California where the exigencies of vocational courses render it impracticable for a large number of students to devote more than one year to general inorganic chemistry and to qualitative analysis as well. Therefore, the scheme of qualitative analysis is made to serve as a means of correlating the apparently independent experiments of general chemistry. Thus, while the end in view is primarily the imparting of a knowledge of the general subject, familiarity with analytical methods is obtained. The course presupposes good chemical training in the secondary schools, many of its briefer statements being in the nature of a review rather than of first presentation. No attempt has been made to emasculate the work by eliminating the consideration of more difficult points. On the other hand, the tests for individual elements have been varied in order to familiarize the student with as many significant reactions as possible. In the opinion of the author, instruction in science should endeavor to equip the student with principles rather than facts and, what is of still greater import, it should train him in the use of these principles and in the application of them in explaining the phenomena of general experience. The acquisition of relatively large numbers of facts or the memorizing of printed rules and laws is a matter of comparatively easy accomplishment. The ability to analyze a situation and to recognize the underlying principle comes less readily. Still more difficult of acquirement is that mental habit which consistently seeks the explanation of the unfamiliar by means of the well-known. In the authors experience, furthermore, students know facts but lack the perspective which gives the appreciation of relative values. Their facts are for the most part
