Book Description

Excerpt from The Vermont School Journal, Vol. 6: Devoted to the Educational Interests of Vermont; January to June, 1864 I have noticed with much interest your success in teach ia teaching Arithmetic and Reading. There is no branch of study unimportant, or that can be badly taught without injury. But these two are of paramount importance. Arithmetic, (mental especially, ) is the foundation of all mathematical study. If this branch be not properly taught all subsequent study in the department, will be a failure. Besides, a correct knowledge of Arithmetic is essential to success in business. You teach this branch practically and thoroughly. Your pupils acquire a facility in mentat calculations seldom met with, and they evince a knowl edge not only of facts but of principles. The dull and useless routine of book education is discarded from your school room, and the science with its practical appli cations is thoroughly taught.'
