Abstract
The earliest college in this country were organized and operated under private control to give special preparation for some of the professions, particularly the ministry. Even as the colleges, so were the secondary schools organized and operated under private control. Their purpose differed only in the fact that they gave a special preparation for continued study in the college, and no thought was given to those people who might have children to be educated and yet could not afford to send them to the private institutions. [...] The high-school chemistry should be a preparatory course for further study in the college, and yet it should also give those students who will not continue their studies in college the benefits and experiences they should derive from contact with the science. [...] This study is based upon the assumption that it is possible to determine the extent to which students have derived benefit from the high school chemistry and physics.
