Excerpt from The New Elementary Arithmetic The elementary arithmetic is the result of the ex perience of a supervisor of primary schools in a leading American city. Finding it quite impossible to secure satisfactory results by the use of such elementary arith metics as were available, she began the experiment of supplying supplementary material. An effort was made to prepare problems that should be in the highest degree practical, that should develop the subject systematically, and that should appeal constantly to the child's ability to think. The accumulations of several years have been care fully re-examined, re-arranged, and supplemented, and are now presented to the public for its candid consideration.

Excerpt from Rational Elementary Arithmetic He is next led to apply his facts to other concrete problems, such as: If John has one marble and Henry has three, how many have both? Which are not constructive, but which oblige him to use his judgment. Finally the number combinations thus learned and applied are fixed by a series of drills. An essential feature of these drill tables is that they make the subject less formidable to the child. For example, the tables on page 43 show that if the child adds three, say, to a series of numbers ending in six, all the sums will end in nine. As soon as the child masters the develop ment of a number, he is taught to associate it with certain facts of his daily life; as, for example, in connection with the number eight, is given the table of dry measure, and with the number twelve, the foot, the months, and the mysteries of the clock face. In this way the child is sure to be interested, and his powers both of memory and of judgment are developed. Throughout the book much use is made of graphic illustrations and concrete problems, such as drawing to scale.
