Excerpt from Elementary Arithmetic
The very general slighting of systematic table work in the schools of this country has proved a sad mistake. The combinations of simple numbers in the elementary processes are presented here in tabular form, and without disguise; and they are to be learned in an orderly way. The elimination of the multiplication tables from some arithmetics, and the half hearted and almost furtive use of them in others, are not easily explained.
Teachers complain that much that is called addition in school work is really only counting; that the pupil who is to add together two simple numbers will begin with one of these, and mentally count through the units of the other. This evil is almost universal. But who is to blame for it? The pupil? No. He has been taught to do that very thing. Either he has not been taught the difference between adding and counting in combining two or more numbers, or no substitute for counting has been given him. In this series, addition in arithmetic is defined to be adding without counting; and in all sincerity and good faith the pupil is told that he must learn some combinations before he can add in this way. He is not first taught to add by counting and then reproved for doing what he was taught to do.

Excerpt from Elementary Arithmetic
Probably there is no branch of school study in which the work to-day is more unsatisfactory than in arithmetic; and yet accuracy in number work lies at the very base of efficiency in business affairs. Since much of the inefficiency of the time is clearly attributable to vagaries in educational methods, the exploitation of theories sometimes fantastic and demoralizing, there is a wide and growing desire for a return to the efficiency of an earlier period, when sane and conservative counsels were followed; when the drill was sufficient to insure a ready command of arithmetical processes by the pupil, and the learner was practically trained for the business of life.
Truly conservative as this new series is planned to be, in reviving those features of the work which made for efficiency in the past, it is thoroughly modern in its adaption to the conditions of to-day. The obsolete is eliminated. An application is made to the life of the present time in both thought and environment. So many are the distinctive features of this series, and so definite and positive are the principles upon which it has been constructed, that a brief statement of some of the more important of these features should be made in advance, to give a clear idea of the plan and purpose of the books.
Since the ear as well as the eye is a potent means of fixing in the mind that which is to be committed to memory, there is every reason for oral drill work in the mastery of tables, etc.
