Abstract

(1) THE authors of this work include, and in X our opinion rightly, under the heading of arithmetic, the elements of algebra and practical geometry. The course is arranged in six parts, each of which contains material for three terms' work. There is very little explanatory text in the pupil's edition, which consists of a series of carefully graduated sets of examples; but the volume designed for the teacher contains not only the answers and additional oral exercises, but also illustrations of the methods recommended for use and a large number of useful hints and cautions, the full value of which will be realised only by those who are acquainted with the varied difficulties of the beginner. The teaching of elementary arithmetic is a harder task than many people admit, and requires more skill and care than is often recognised. Success can be achieved only by a careful formulation of the scheme of work and of the methods to be employed. In this, the teacher's edition should be most useful. It is thoroughly sound and trustworthy, and full of excellent suggestions.
