Synopsis

Excerpt from The Natural Arithmetic: Specially Prepared for Elementary Schools

The Natural Arithmetic has been prepared to meet a demand which has grown out of the experience of live, progressive teachers during the last ten years. Many educators have learned that a large part of the matter in common arithmetics is of no practical use to nine tenths of the children in our elementary schools; and that the fundamental principles involved in the use of numbers are few but that they are enshrouded in many blind and useless rules. At least one half of the time usually spent in studying arithmetic is wasted in memorizing rules and processes, and in unraveling mysteries which yield no profit even when solved.

The study of arithmetic is required, not only for its practical value, but also because of its supposed disciplinary advantages.
