Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from New York State Arithmetic: Years Five and Six
In deciding upon the plan for a textbook to meet the needs of the schools of New York state, the authors have been guided by the Syllabus in Arithmetic issued by the State Education Department. With the Syllabus constantly before them they have prepared what they believe to be a thoroughly usable book. They believe that this book, with its clear-cut topical arrangement, will appeal to teachers and pupils alike, and that it will meet the needs of the schools in every respect. The rule that has guided the authors in their other works is followed in this one: Present the reason briefly but clearly, and then furnish such an amount of practice that the pupil cannot forget the principle. Theory is reduced to a mini mum, and practice is abundant, with both abstract and con crete numbers, since the experience of a century proves beyond question that each of these two lines must be treated fully to prepare the pupils for their future work. This is the spirit of the Syllabus, and it is a thoroughly sound one, rep resenting as it does the sanest modern educational thought.
