Since we have not the facilities as yet for winding motors, 

 we had the armature repaired at the factory; then the stu- 

 dents assembled and installed it on the washing machine, 

 making the rather difficult adjustments with ratchets, and 

 the satisfaction of putting the whole machine in good, 

 working order again was worth while. 



I am sure that you can suggest many more practical and 

 instructive projects for students to do in the wide do- 

 main of physics, both in elementary and advanced work, 

 and you who have done some of this kind of teaching know 

 how it enriches a course, and makes the student exclaim 

 "That was the best science course I ever took. I got lots 

 out of it."
