If the contributions of chemical science to modern civilization
were suddenly swept away, what a blank there would be ! If, on
the other hand, every person were acquainted with the elements of
chemistry and its bearing upon our daily life, what an uplift human
efficiency would receive ! It is to further this latter end that this
book has been prepared. Designed particularly for use by students
of agriculture and home economics in secondary schools, its use will
do much to increase the efficiency of the farm and the home. In
the language of modern educational philosophy, it "functions in the
life of the pupil."
Useful facts rather than mere theory have been emphasized,
although the theory has not been neglected. The practical char-
acter of the work is indicated by the following selected chapter
headings :
IL The Composition and Uses of Water.
IV* The Air, Nitrogen, Nitric Acid, and Ammonia,
IX. Carbon and Its Compounds.
XII. Paints, Oils, and Varnishes.
XIIL Leather, Silk, Wool, Cotton, and Rubber*
XV. Commercial Fertilizers,
XVI. Farm Manure.
XX. Milk and Its Products.
XXL Poisons for Farm and Orchard Pests.
