Présentation de l'éditeur

Vb PREFACE EVERYDAY SCIENCE was written primarily for eighth and ninth grade pupils who will never have any further training in science. The book, therefore, covers a wide field, and does not unduly emphasize any of the special sciences.

It will inculcate scientific habits of thought, and will substitute the beginnings of knowledge and confidence for misapprehension and superstition. The usefulness of science is brought out in innumerable applications of its principles to the household, the yard and garden, the farm, the city street, industries, and transportation. Good citizenship is fostered by the interesting treatment of such subjects as personal hygiene, community health and sanitation, reclamation of lowlands, irrigation, forestry, coastal navigation, canals, and inland waterways.
