Présentation de l'éditeur
There is still some difference of opinion, however, as to how girls can best be taught to appreciate the value of experiment and deduction in the endeavour to understand the forces of Nature. Fortunately, we believe, the idea gains ground that there are no more suitable means than the ordinary operations and practices of the household to illustrate physical and chemical laws. Adopting the general trend of the recent syllabus of the Board of Education, though in no sense slavishly following its details, we have attempted to make students familiar with those broad principles of science without which the intelligent guidance of the domestic economy is impossible. Adhering to the belief that it is only by experiment that the truths presented can be made real to young minds, we have arranged a large number of suitable practical exercises the due performance of which will provide a sure foundation for the later explanations of the teacher. Unless the experiments are carried out by, or at least in the presence of, the pupil, much of the value of the course of study will be lost. Since, too, our experience shows that as many of the faculties of the pupil as possible should be brought into play, special attention has been paid to the illustrations throughout the book.
