Excerpt from Practical Chemistry for Engineering Students One of the practical difficulties encountered by the teacher in carrying out modern schemes of technical education arises from the failure on the part of the students preparing for some particular profession or industry to realise the importance of subjects which they regard as being outside their own province. This difficulty is experienced very generally, it constantly arises, for example, in connection with the professional training of such classes of students as those preparing for medicine or pharmacy, or for the various branches of engineering. It is to this last group of students that the present little work by Mr. Arthur J. Hale especially appeals. Those who are responsible for laying down the broad principles of training for the mechanical engineer have wisely included Chemistry as an essential subject. The leaders of the engineering profession both in this country and abroad are unanimous in urging the importance for engineers of a sound knowledge of at least the general rudiments of chemical science. Such knowledge can only be acquired during the early years of training, and it naturally falls to the duty of the chemical staff in our Technical Schools and Colleges to carry out this part of the students' curriculum.
