Synopsis
Excerpt from Laboratory Exercises in Anatomy and Physiology
Since physiology precedes physics and chemistry in the ordinary high school courses of study, it is necessary to give the pupil a few ideas of the fundamental principles of these subjects. It seems wise to discuss oxidation and its products more or less thoroughly, and to dwell upon os mosis, atmospheric pressure, and the properties of acids and alkalis. The structure and physiology of the organs of special sense (eye, ear), as well as the thorough consider ation of levers, should be omitted, in my judgment, until after a course in physics has been taken.
It is not expected that all of the following experiments will be performed in the limited time usually assigned in the curriculum to this Subject. The exercises are, how ever, sufficiently varied to allow a wide range of choice. The laboratory work on a given topic should, if possible, be given before the study of that topic in the text-book.
