Excerpt from Arithmetic Designed for the Use of Schools: To Which Is Added a Chapter on Decimal Coinage

I have taken the opportunity, however, of my being in England for a few weeks, to insert some addi tional pages on the Metric System of Weights and Measures, the principles of which, by a rule of the Council of Education in force in 1872, Were required to be taught to all children of Standards V. And VI. In schools under the control of the Government. The rule inquestion has, however, been since rescinded, as requiring too much from elementary schools, While the use of the Metric System has not yet been rendered compulsory by Act of Parliament. But the general adoption of that System in England is only, it seems plain, a question of time.
