xxxiii, p. 1x9, Jan. 27, 191 1. Digitized by Google THE DISCIPLINE OF PHYSICS 189 habits of thought, does not this tend to preserve common elements of method? And the more these common ele- ments are preserved, the greater is the transferable value of the teaching. The methods of teaching now in use generally fail to do this, as shown in Chapter IV. When the student enters upon his study of physics, he strikes at the very beginning impossible definitions and mathematical state- ments of laws wh...ich are as intelligible to him as if they were written in Chinese characters. He discovers no elements common to physics and the rest of his experi- ences, and is immediately and irretrievably cut off from securing from his study of physics a discipline that shall be of any great value to him outside of the physics classes. Hence, those teachers who would give trans- ferable training in physics should reason like plain men at the beginning. The upper limit to their reasoning is set only by their own abilities and those of their pupils.
