ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. z, 1854.
Harvey Officer, Esq, Chairman of High
School Committee:
DEAR SIR-Permit me 70 recommend 10
your committee the adoption for the High
school Of "Gage's Physics in the place Of
Norton's, now in use.
The latter book is behind the times, both
in matter andtn method, while the former
contains the results of the latest scientific
researches and experiments, and employs
the empirical method, which Is doubtless the
only proper method for the study Of science,
and for which our new laboratories were es-
pecially constructed.
The new work meets the approval OF Su-
perintendent Wright. Prof. Weitbrecht and
myself. Yours very respectfully,
C. b. GILBERT.
The Committee on High school recon-
mend the substitution of ''Gage's Physics
in place Of Norton's, now in use, in aceor-
dance with the foregoing communication.
