Excerpt from Elementary Arithmetic on the Unitary System: Intended as an Introductory Text-Book to Unitary Smith's Arithmetic

The importance of Arithmetic as a branch of ino struction is universally admitted; but, until a com paratively recent period, the results of teaching it were very unsatisfactory, and not at all commensu rate with the time usually devoted to it in our schools. This was not owing to any inherent difficulty in the subject itself, but to the method of teaching it. The rule was stated first, an example illustrating the rule followed, and the reason of it came last. Now exactly the reverse of this is adopted by all good teachers. The examples and illustrations precede and lead up to the enunciation of the rule, whenevera rule is considered necessary. But while the method of teaching Arithmetic has undergone a complete change no corresponding change has taken place in our ele~ mentary text-books. To remedy this defect the fol lowing pages have been written.
