In addition to these four main lines Of inquiry and, indeed, involved in them to a greater or less extent, it will be desirable to consider some what such topics as the hygiene Of arithmetic (normal and health ful learning); arithmetical prodigies (geniuses, but primitive in their arithmetical processes); transfer (how far does an ability de veloped to deal with one set of materials pass over to the dealing with another set); ideational types (arithmetical working-types Of imagery). Upon the basis Of such studies only, can be founded a scientific curriculum and a scientific method.
