Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Complete Graded Arithmetic: Fifth Grade
Most of the teaching of Arithmetic is determined by the text used. Hence it is evident that the use of a book which is nu pedagogical in plan, arrangement, and character gives meagre results, while the use of a book which is in harmony with the laws of mental development and mental growth gives results which are commensurate with the time and energy devoted to it. For various reasons it has lately come to pass that Arith metic is challenged to defend its position as one of the most prominent subjects in our schools. The author of this series shows a strong conviction that the cause of this widespread dissatisfaction with results now obtained is traceable to the character of the texts in general use. These pages also express the author's confident belief that it is possible to prepare a text which is entirely adapted to the needs and gradually developing powers of the child.
