Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mental Arithmetic, Vol. 1 The complaints that business men are making of the lack of accuracy and thoroughness in the rising genera tion, would indicate a lack of system in prest iting the subject of arithmetic, or insufiicient drill to llnnly ground the principles presented. We have perhaps been taking up too many subjects, taking them up at the same time; and in the same lesson, and the result is unsatisfactory. We have been taking up subjects that require faculties which are not developed and do not naturally mature at an early period of the child's life. The old rule, One thing at a time, and rat done is being discarded, and we are of the opinion that this is being done at the sacrifice of the true development of the child.
