GIBSON, CHARLES R. Chemistry and its mysteries; the story of what things are made of told in simple language. il *$1.50 Lippincott 540
20–8917
“The preface of ‘Chemistry and its mysteries,’ is addressed to the adult and sets forth the advantages of disabusing the mind of any child below high school age of the idea that chemistry is a dry and merely technical study. The author bases the book on the belief that children will become genuinely interested in science, if the subject is put before them in a manner in which they can easily grasp it. The volume is the fifth in the Science for children series, the text showing in a simple manner the inner meaning of everyday happenings and the composition of materials met in everyday life.”—Springf’d Republican
“Of interest to the adult as well as child.”

“He certainly has achieved considerable success in a difficult task. It is unfortunate that Mr Gibson makes a few statements to which exception can be taken in themselves.”
