In addition to the above features, some of which are distinctively new so far as American text-books are concerned, there is the separation Of pupils' exercises for practice into small books some what on the lines Of gradation in City graded schools. By this ar rangement there are gained greater convenience Of handling and economy of wear than in the use of a large book which is intended to be used for several years by the same pupil.

Much Of the arithmetical part of this book is supposed to be a review Of what has been taught. There is little, therefore, of what may be called development work. If such work is found necessary, as it may be for the solution of the most difficult problems, it should be supplied by the teacher.

Rules and definitions which have not been called for to a great extent in previous books should be required, not merely as a test Of the pupil's knowledge, but as a good means of mental discipline. Let the rules and definitions be made by the pupils themselves, and be corrected by them as they see that other forms of expression are clearer or more accurate than those which they have made.
