REPORT understand the correct pedagogical order. The traditional educational sequence of studying qualitative and quantitative anal ysis before physical chemistry must be avoided. Understanding the theory of gravimetry and titrimetry requires a knowledge of physical, inorganic, and organic chemis try, and all of these must be considered prerequisites. The science, art, and "state of mind" necessary for a good classical analyst would have to be firmly imparted to each student. Students would have to practice until they mastered the tech niques of common classical analytical op erations and would have to analyze mate rials used in industry and government to gain proper experience. From such a school could flow a small but steady stream of qualified classical analysts to serve in our industrial, govern ment, and private laboratories. The gradu ates of this school would have the mental and manual skills necessary to do classi
cal analyses. They would be able to work according to Kolthoff s maxim, "theory guides, experiment decides." Perhaps such a school exists. If not, now is the time to establish one.
