Classroom use has demonstrated that changes in the data of some of the problems should be made in order more clearly to emphasize certain important points, also that a number of the illustrations might be changed to advantage, and that portions of the text should be reworded in a way to help students over difficult ground. These represent the changes in the third edition; in all essentials the book remains as originally written. F. G. HIGBEE. Iowa City, I a., June i, 1920.
