SCIENCE-ADVERTISEMENTS 



An Outstanding New Publication 



PETERS' 



Applied Chemistry 



By Fredus N. Peters, Ph.D., Instructor in Chemistry in Central High School, Kansas 



City, Mo., for twenty-three years; more recently Vice-Principal; Author 



of "Chemistry for Nurses," etc. 



461 pages, 5'/2 X 7!/2, with 72 illustrations. Price, cloth, $3.50. 



This is an elementary text book for secondary schools and for those who 

 desire an up-to-date work that will meet their everyday needs. Just from 

 the press. 



In his preface the author says: "Permit me to say that to me it has never 

 seemed necessary for a high school chemistry to present a mere skeleton of 

 the most interesting of sciences when that skeleton may just as easily be 

 clothed wth wonderful symmetry and charming beauty. On the contrary, it 

 has aWays seemed that a text for secondary schools may and ought to be a 

 readable book just as w^ell as one merely surfeited with facts. . . . Such is 

 the attempt of this text, to present the chemical facts of everyday life in a 

 readable form and by so doing make them interesting." 



The author's extensive experience as a writer and lecturer on chemistry 

 eminently fits him to prepare a book especially suited to the needs of ele- 

 mentary colleges. Teachers are requested to write us.
