Excerpt from Physics of the Household
The writer believes that we teach physics to young students for these reasons: first, that they may obtain knowledge of the physical world about them; and second, that they may gain, through this knowledge, the power to control the forces of nature for their own benefit, and for the benefit of others. In other words, we wish them to acquire knowledge which they will use in everyday life.
