Abstract
THERE is one way in which a great many of our public schools might well economize, and that is in the building and equipment of science laboratories such as are in use at the present time. My teaching experience is confined to public schools only; but I give it as my opinion that the money spent on costly apparatus and equipment is in many cases sheer waste and out of all proportion with the science which can and should be taught in schools.
