Présentation de l'éditeur

Chemistry is so closely connected with many phases of modem life that almost everyone should have some knowledge of it. I ts application to the problems of industry and recently to those of warfare has attracted unusual attention and interest. It plays no less important a part in the sciences of agriculture and medicine. For these reasons we believe that a knowledge of the fundamental fads of chemistry and an ability to use them should form a part of the equipment of our American youth. It is generally conceded that in order to teach any subject effectively it is first necessary to arouse an interest in it. Fortunately this is an easy task in chemistry if the method of presenting the subject is not too formal and academic. We have found two ways of awakening the students interest: first, by appealing to his love of the miraculous and dramatic; and second, by touching his curiosity concerning the things of every-day life. With this in view, we have outlined numerous class-experiments to be done on the lecture-table yoften somewhat spectacular; and, wherever possible, we have drawn examples of chemical phenomena from the students daily experienceS uch applications of the facts and principles of chemistry, we believe, make the subject real and practical. A young person is not interested in the details of large manufacturing operations which he may never see, but he is curious concerning the composition and transformation of many famiU ar products. It is important that the economic significance of chemistry and the allied industries be realized. To this end the idea has gradually been developed throughout the book that some of the common chemical materials, such as sulfuric acid, soda, and steely are literally foundation stones oi modL txv wfiaxscL.
