Excerpt from High School Department, Including Academies and All Interests of Secondary Education, Bulletin 17: New York State Science Teachers Association, Proceedings of the Sixth Annual Conference, Held at Syracuse University, Syracuse, December 27-28, 1901 While these matters I have brought up, I have meant to apply chie¿y to large schools, still, where the classes are 10 or less, the method of instruction mav be modified in the case of a few exercises in which it is possible to make one or two pieces of apparatus suffice for the whole class. In such cases the class may gather around a goodsized table, and one pupil after another perform the essential parts of the experiment. The apparatus should be assembled and taken apart several times, and the pupils Should both do it and see it done. Each pupil may take his own readings. Suppose that, in testing a thermo meter, only one steam boiler is available. This Should be steamed up while each pupil is taking the melting point of ice. Then the thermometer should be warmed in the hand or mouth (perhaps incidentally taking the temperature of the body), and put into the steam dome of the boiler. 'hile waiting for their turn, pupils may read the barom eter, figure what the true boiling point should be and make a diagram and description of the apparatus. One composition of force board will keep a class of 10 busy, the dynamometers or Spring balances being held in position bv clamps. After all have made readings and diagrams of the apparatus, some changes may be made in the forces and their points of applica tion, and a new case recorded.
