What Do I Know About Sharks? I’m a kid in school. Up until today, I was a happy kid in school. Then my friend Jay got back to school after being away for more than a month because his family went away to the jungle and then he got sick. After school, he told us he has a pet shark... and did we want to see it. Duh! Who do you know has a pet shark? But I had to get the bus home. Jay could walk home. Tommy, the other one of us three... we knew each other since, well, before school... walked home too. I wanted to see that shark. So, the three of us went to Jay’s house. I should have known better than to break the rules. In our school, if you dodge the rules, sooner or later, you have to deal with G the bully. What do I know about sharks?

During this time I have had the satisfaction of learning of the successful adoption of laboratory practice in all parts of the United States and the Canadas; likewise its adoption by some of the leading universities as a requirement for admission. Meantime my views with reference to the trend which should be given to laboratory work have undergone some modifications. The tendency has been to some extent from qualitative to quantitative work. With a text-book prepared on the inductive plan, and with class-room instruction harmonizing with it, the pupil will scarcely fail to catch the spirit and methods of the investigator, while much of his limited time may profitably be expended in applying the principles thus acquired in making physical measurements. A brief statement of my method of conducting laboratory exercises may be of service to some, until their own experience has taught them better ways. As a rule, the principles and laws are discussed in the class-room in preparation for subsequent work in the laboratory. The pupil then enters the laboratory without a text-book, receives his note-book from the teacher, goes at once to any unoccupied (numbered) desk containing apparatus, reads on a mural blackboard the questions to be answered, the directions for the work to be done with the apparatus, measurements to be made, etc.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
