Reseña del editor

Teachers, however, came to recognize that books of this type do not make the subject sufficiently attractive to pupils who are familiar with picturesque, popular applications of physics, and who are not inclined to devote the requisite time and effort to overcome the difficulties of a less alluring side of the subject. Attempts have been made to meet this vague dissatisfaction by presenting many familiar illustrations of the practical applications of physics, but with an unsatisfactory treatment of the fundamental principles on which these applications are based. As a result, pupils reached the end of their study with few definite ideas and little knowledge of the science itself. This condition was plainly so much worse than the former one that teachers, who have been drawn into the experiment, have generally preferred to return to the earlier type of book. The present volume is the result of an attempt to make a book which shall have a strong element of interest and attractiveness, and at the same time be so clear and definite in the treatment of principles that pupils may carry away from the course some useful acquisitions for daily life and a preparation for continuing the subject with success in the college or technical school. Every effort has been made to have the language of the book clear and simple.
