Abstract: The year that has passed sincc the publication of P a r t I of this article has bcen fruitfill.The experiences gained have added much in.themay of new matcrial and new methods.The ideals, which the science teachers of the Junior High Schools hold, are much the same as they were a year ago but with still greater emphasis plaoed upon the need of training pupils how to study and to think.We still believe that gcnerol science should give the pupils experiencea and,training which they may immediately apply.We are more thsn ever convinced of the value of general science for seventh slid eighth as well as ninth ycnr pupils.It would be possible to give instance upon instance of the interest manifested by boys and girls in dl sorts hf science topics that are rcally related to the home,the school, the strect and the community.They are genuinely interested in the every day things.Their interest does not depend upon science of a ymtaculnr or unusual nature.
