TL;DR: It is your own time to continue reading habit and one of the books you can enjoy now is the founders of geology here.
Abstract: One day, you will discover a new adventure and knowledge by spending more money. But when? Do you think that you need to obtain those all requirements when having much money? Why don't you try to get something simple at first? That's something that will lead you to know more about the world, adventure, some places, history, entertainment, and more? It is your own time to continue reading habit. One of the books you can enjoy now is the founders of geology here.

TL;DR: No text-book is recommended for use with this laboratory guide, and while it can prolbably be used with good results in many cases it must be with the constant attention of the teacher anid the elimina777.
Abstract: Laboratory Manual of Inorganic Chemistry. By RUFUS P. WrILLIAMS, in charge of the Chemical Department of the English High School, Bostorn. Boston, Ginn & Co. 1896. This book, wlhich is intended especially for use in elementary schools, is arranged so that each page is devoted to a separate topic. The alternate pages are left blank for notes and the experiments are unusually full of minute directions. This minuteness of directions may be well in the case of one who is working alone and can use the book to aid him in difficulties; but when workirng under the eye of the instructor it is questionable whether such close attention to details given in the book and, as in this case, working by rules is not apt to make the student too dependent, instead of teaching him to observe for himself and to devise, to a certain extent, the methods of work he shall follow in each experiment. The free use of symbols in other than equations is especially objectionable in the early stages of the study, as the student becomes impressed with the idea that proficiency in the use and manipulation of chemical symbols is the thing to be acquired and not the principles of the subject. Difficulties encountered and overcome by the ingenluity of the student are a great incentive and give him confidence in his own powers. After taking up in order the common non-metallic elements, the author gives the usual methods of separating the members of the different grouLps of inetals. These are given without any preliminary study of the different members of the groups, which would enable one to understand the principles uponi which the separations are based and must be entirely mechanical in their nature. No text-book is recommended for use with this laboratory guide, and while it can prolbably be used with good results in many cases it must be with the constant attention of the teacher anid the elimina777

TL;DR: In the year 1895-96 there were in attendance at the colleges and universities of the United States nearly fifty thousand students who were pursuing courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and of whom nearly ten thousand received that degree as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: SCIENCE IN EDUCATION.* DURING the year 1895-96 there were in attendance at the colleges and universities of the United States nearly fifty thousand students who were pursuing courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and of whom nearly ten thousand received that degree. In the various technological and professional schools there were sixty-six thousand students and nearly or quite fifteen thousand graduates. That is, those students seeking the so-called liberal education were less than forty per cent. of all the candidates for college degrees. In none of the professional schools, with but few exceptions, is the possession of a college or university degree necessary for admission. A single medical school at the present time requires its matriculates to possess the bachelor degree, and some others will in the near future. In the theological schools a preparatory college education is more usual, but the whole number of theological students in the United States is relatively small, and does not seem to be rapidly increasing. Nearly one-half of the professional students are those studying medicine, and of these I do not think more than five per cent. are graduates of other courses. Less than that percentage will be found among the engineering students, for reasons that will appear later.
