Excerpt from Elementary Arithmetic, Vol. 3

This Elementary Arithmetic, the outcome of many years of observation and actual teaching experience, is based on the idea that number is essentially abstract, and that the prime object in the first years of school is to teach number as number. To secure accuracy and facility, a large amount of drill work in the fundamental processes is provided, and is so arranged as to furnish thorough and frequent review of all subjects previously studied.

The application of number to the affairs of everyday life has not been neglected. An abundance of oral and written problems within the limits of the comprehension of pupils furnishes material for concrete work.

Technical explanations of processes, necessarily con fusing to immature minds, are purposely omitted. A minimum of theory and a maximum of practice are generally conceded to be the wisest method of teaching the principles of arithmetic to young pupils.

Experience proves that an elementary arithmetic should be simple, progressive, and teachable, and in a direct and practical way aim to develop arithmetical power.
