Abstract
IN addition to its immediate good effect on the pupils themselves, the introduction of laboratory methods of teaching science has had an indirect, beneficial influence on the other work of schools. Practical exercises are becoming a necessary part of courses of study in geometry, geography, and other subjects in which originally boys and girls had little else to do than listen to the exposition of their teachers. The most recent experiment in this direction is the introduction of the “ research” method in the study of history, which is, in some schools, done in specially equipped rooms.
