Excerpt from The New Methods in Arithmetic

The present volume deals with somewhat the same material, but from the point Of view Of the working teacher or student in a normal school seeking direct help in understanding the newer methods and using them under ordinary conditions Of classroom instruction. NO knowledge Of psychology is assumed as a requirement for profitable study Of this book. Discus sions Of the general psychological basis Of the new methods and Of the evidence in their favor are here omitted or much simplified. The treatment is constructive throughout. The practical consequences are treated more specifically and with abundant detailed illustration and application.

In Order to aid the teacher still further in putting the new principles Of teaching into active operation, each chapter is accompanied by exercises, which are even more detailed and concrete in nature than the text.
