Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Science: A First Course in Science for High Schools The purpose of the book is to introduce boys and girls in their first science course in high school to a scientific study of some of the principal features of their environment. Such an introductory course in the scientific study of common things is now generally recognized as an essential part of the educational opportunities afforded by our secondary schools. The general method of the book in dealing with the topics, or projects, selected for study is broadly inductive or heuristic, the presentation following the time order of mental develop ment of boys and girls as closely as effective teaching permits. This emphasis upon the psychological rather than the tradi tional logical or dogmatic method of procedure aids in realizing the purpose of the book, which is to guide students in the development of a scientific habit of mind, that is of a method of investigating and mastering their projects and problems, which is economical as well as effective.
