more comprehensible. The fifty experiments outlined in the
manual are performed by the students individually, or in groups
when necessary. Each student takes notes on the experiments at
the time of performing them and records his results in a record
book outside of the laboratory. General Chemistry. This consists
of an elementary course in general chemistry and qualitative
analysis. The elements of chemical theories and of important
generalization in the field of chemistry are taken up in
connection with the properties of the elements and their
compounds. Considerable attention is .given to the solving of
problems and the writing of chemical equations. Three
recitations and two hours in the laboratory per week throughout
the year. Text. McPherson and Henderson's Elementary Chemistry.
