Use, interest and activity are the keys which will unlock the doors of learning. Teachers of general science are everywhere tak- ing account of this fact. However, in this scientific age, with its many applications of scientific principles, the science teacher is in danger of becoming bewildered in trying to give the pupil a passing acquaintance with the many applications which the textbook makers and curriculum experts seem to think the pupil should know. ,4 little perusal of the subject matter general science classes are expected to cover reminds one of the boy who set a hen on one hundred egp. When asked why he gave her so many eggs to cover, he replied, “I just wanted to see her bust hersel€ trying to cover them.” All of which is not so much a criticism of the modern general science text as it is a plea for its intelligent use.
