Excerpt from Practical Electricity for Beginners The Enormous strides made during the past few years in the advancement of electrical applications and their unlimited possibilities in the future have made the study of electricity one of great importance. The fundamentals and the practical applications of electricity should be understood by every man, woman and child because they are sure to make use of them in one way or another. Because of its inherent technical nature, this subject has been rather difficult to present in language readily understood by young students and workers in the home. This book has been written with the idea that it is to be used in junior and small high schools, grammar grade classes, continuation schools, other vocational schools, and in the home; and it has been the aim to make it extremely practical, and of value in teaching electrical operations and repair, giving only those principles that are of practical value, and then only in a popular, non-technical manner. The descriptive matter has been so arranged as to make the book valuable as a text in regular classes where it should suggest many things of interest to be observed or applied in the home; or for use in classes in connection with electrical laboratory or shop work, or with the problems given in home mechanics courses and the like; or for use in the home in helping to make electrical troubles readily understood.
