The following tools will be found very valuable: saw, square, plane,
brace and bit, knife, hammer, glass cutter, files--round, flat, and
triangular.
Where the circumstances will not allow of the purchase of the preceding
list, the following apparatus is recommended as sufficient for the
performance of a large number of the experiments:
1/2 lb. glass tubing in 3 ft. lengths, 3/16 in.
and 1/4 in. outside $ .20
2 Florence flasks, 4 oz. .15
1 Funnel .10
2 ft. pure gum rubber tubing, 1/8 in. inside .15
1/2 doz. test-tubes assorted, 5/8 to 7/8 diameter, 6 in. long .20
2 rubber stoppers, No. 2, one hole .10
1 rubber stopper, No. 4, one hole .10
Expansion of heat apparatus (made at blacksmith's) .10
Common corks, assorted .10
1 chemical thermometer 0 deg. F. to 212 deg. F. .40
1 spirit-lamp, 4 oz. .10
1 thistle tube .10

CHEMICALS
Iodine crystals .10

ammonia, coal, coke, saltpetre, sulphur, blue vitriol, alum, potass.
bichromate, blueing, lime, pickle-jars, wire gauze, candles, wire, sheet
metals, test-tube holder and rack, balance, battery cells, horse-shoe
magnet, pneumatic trough, lamp chimneys, tin cans, melting spoon,
bicycle pump, baking-powder.
For home-made apparatus, consult _Laboratory Exercises in Physics_ by
Newman, Ginn & Co., 50c., and Manual on _Manual Training_.
Reference has been made in the preceding experiments to the use of
simple and easily contrived apparatus. The more of this the pupils can
contrive and make under the direction of the teacher, the more valuable
will be the course in Physical Science.
