clearly unclerstocxi, but also the method of working; and it is well to 

 have sheets or cards provided, on which directions regarding the conduct 

 of the experiment are set down. These should be copied by the pupils 

 into their experimental book. The pupils must complete the account 

 of the experiment by entering the recoi'd of their results and the con- 

 clusions derived therefrom. To save apparatus and undue prrjjaration 

 on the part of the teacher, the different pairs of workers need not all 

 work at precisely the same experiment, but they should all be working 

 at one group of correlated experiments closely related to the class 

 work. 



To deal with individual parts of the proposed syllabus would be 

 tedious, and is hardly necessary in view of the multifarious text-bocjks 

 that are available to the earnest teacher of physics and chemistry. I 

 shall therefore conclude by expressing the hope that what I have said 

 may be of some service in the promotion of sound education in .South 

 Africa.
