Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Exercises in Quantitative: Chemical Analysis, With a Short Treatise on Gas Analysis
Sight may appear to be irrelevant. Cheerful and conscientious devotion to all the protracted drudgery that may be involved in one's duty is certainly a lesson worth learning, and it is one of the educational functions of quantitative analysis to inculcate the lesson. And as to'the talented student's weaker brother? Why, he must be drilled, or else he may learn nothing at all.
Of course, here, as everywhere, we must beware of extremes, and take care not to disgust the student with his work. It is as well, even at the earlier stages, to occasionally break the monotony of analytical work by the interpolation of an exercise in preparative chemistry. With students who have already been broken in, a capital plan is to give them unnamed substances and let them find the exercise or set of exercises that they are meant to work, taking care not to give them any help except Where it may become necessary to prevent sheer waste of time.
