The North Carolina Journal Of Education

Excerpt from The North-Carolina Journal of Education, 1859, Vol. 2 There is no subject so imperfect ly taught in our schools generally as Arithmetic. Tron g notions and bad practices in teaching it seem to have been handed down from teacher to pupil, generation after generation. It is far worse taught, even in the same schools, than the higher branches of mathematics. Many a teacher pursues an excel lent system of instruction in Alge bra and Geometry, and yet fails in Arithmetic. The reason obvious ly is, that he was taught the form er correctly himself, but was never taught the latter. Arithmetic has never held in our schools its prep er place as a branch of a science.

Excerpt from The North-Carolina Journal of Education, Vol. 5: February, 1862 To meet at the breakfast-table father, mother, children, all well, ought to be a happiness to any heart; it should be a source of hum ble gratitude, and should wake up the warmest feelings of our na ture.
