Excerpt from The Teaching of Arithmetic
The most important problems in the teaching of arithmetic are those of economy and efficiency. How to put the child in possession of the essential facts of the subject, how to develop habits that lead to the economical and efficient use of these facts in the real situations that arise in everyday life, and how to accomplish this with a minimum of waste are the problems that confront every thoughtful teacher.
