Excerpt from The Teaching of High School Mathematics

What the practical ideal is doing for the pur poses oi the school, the ideal of psychologicalefficiency is doing for its methods. It is perceived that truths that stand in vital relation to human need are more readily mastered and retained than those that do not, that a series of facts is better presented in an order that pays heed to the stu dent's mental development rather than to the logical steps in a perfected system of knowledge. Hence, old approaches to the mastery of studies are giving way to more objective, more reasonable, and more circuitous, but more efficient means of progression.
