observations actually made by the student and his infer- 

 ences from these observations. 



2. The laboratory notes will usually consist only of ex- 

 plicit and complete answers to questions asked or problems 

 stated in the laboratory directions. The answer to a ques- 

 tion should take the form of a complete statement; that is, 

 in reading the answer one should not ( be compelled to refer 

 to the directions to find out what question is being answered. 

 It is not required that all the observations called for in the 

 laboratory directions be recorded, since this would involve 

 too much repetition of statements already made in the direc- 

 tions. 



3. In all laboratory notes pay particular attention to topi- 

 cal headings and to paragraphing. The paragraph should 

 possess strict unity of subject matter. 



4. Notes should be written in ink and only one side of 

 the paper should be used; the writing should appear on the 

 right-hand page of the open book after the paper is filed in 

 the covers. The other side of the sheet may be used for the 

 explanation of drawings (see below). 



5. The notes should be written in permanent form at the 

 time the observations are made. The pages should be num- 

 bered consecutively, using Arabic numerals. 



C. Drawings. i. Make the drawings of sufficient size 

 to show all the details clearly. Do not crowd the drawings ; 

 a wide margin should be left on all sides. 



2. The drawings are mainlv outlines, and the lines should 

 be sharp, clear and even not broad, soft or irregular in 

 width and distinctness. See that the pencils are kept sharp. 

 In making outlines be careful that the ends of the lines meet 

 accurately, not overlapping or crossing. Never leave two
