Excerpt from A Hand-Book to Morang's Modern Arithmetics: Books I and II

Ir arithmetic is ever to become a thought study - if pupils are ever to form the desirable habit of studying arithmetical problems carefully and independently before attempting their solutions, all such mental crutches as answers and hints must i removed from the backs of text-books. On the other hand, there se ms to be a legitimate place for a book embodying an swets to such questions as are of a mechanical nature, or are given for the purpose of testing previous progress. The answer to an arithmetical problem, though correct, should not be viewed by the teacher as the most important part of the ques tion. For the teacher, the character of the solution is the main thing; a pupil's method should show a gradual improvement of the reasoning power. It is not to be expected that a child should employ the best method of solving a problem from the first, and it is bad teaching to show such a method to him until he has done all he can in an efl'ort to arrive at this him self.
