Excerpt from Practical Physics<br/><br/>IT has frequently been a matter of remark that while many schools are provided with fully equipped chemical labora tories, yet very few have any appliances for teaching Practical Physics. The reason is certainly not to be found in any fundamental unsuitability of Practical Physics as a training for the mind, inasmuch as the subject is universally acknowledged to be of very great importance in this respect. There are several causes which have militated against the introduction of Practical Physics, the chief, perhaps, being the want of properly trained teachers, the absence of organised methods, and the difficulty of obtain ing suitable apparatus. We venture to think that, as the importance of the subject comes to be realised, there will be no lack of good teachers, each of whom will be capable of controlling a system of instruction suitable to the boys under his ch arge. Again, we think that instrument makers are becoming more alive to the requirements of elementary students, their strength hitherto having been mainly directed towards the manufacture of instruments suitable for commercial purposes and scientific research.
