VI PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION 



ing the amount of work for each exercise to the necessary 

 limitations of time and facilities, I am indebted to Mr. Ray- 

 mond C. Reed, Instructor in this Department, for much 

 valuable assistance. I wish also to thank Professor Charles 

 Wright Dodge of the University of Rochester for helpful 

 suggestions. Should these outlines fall in the hands of other 

 teachers or workers in this subject, criticisms are cordially 

 invited.
