It is practical !because it deals with every phase of our life and ex- istence. Perhaps it is so practicah that some of us find it tough for that very reason. SThe niost agreeablle. phase, of the study is' connected with the- actual e.Xperimenits *carried on by. the stu- dents themselves ini t he laboratory.
