Excerpt from Light and Sound: A Text-Book for Colleges and Technical Schools
The authors do not insist on the study of the practical things in physics merely because of their practical value, although they believe that this consideration alone should determine the trend of all general instruction in elementary physics and chemistry. A so-called knowledge of elementary science which does not re late to some actual physical condition or thing is to them super latively contemptible, and they believe that the only physical things that are sufficiently prominent in the mind of a young man to be brought into the field of his science study are the things which have been impressed upon him in everyday life.
