Chancellor, William E. – Globe School Book Company, 1903
There is offered in this book a year's work in numbers for those boys and girls who know one to ten thoroughly. The book is designed for the children themselves. The practical use of this text in various schools for several years gives evidence by its success that as soon as children can read they should have arithmetics in their hands. [Cover…

Eaton, James S. – Thompson, Bigelow & Brown, 1873
This arithmetic textbook uses small concrete numbers to lead pupils to understanding numbers' properties and relations. This work is intended as a connecting link between the Primary and Written Arithmetics of the Author. It presents a mental analysis of Arithmetic adapted to the younger pupils by its easy gradations, and to advanced pupils by its…

Eaton, James S. – Thompson, Brown, and Company, 1877
This textbook is a course in mental arithmetic that is essentially based on the object-lesson plan. It is believed that the pupil in the primary school can more readily acquire a familiarity with numbers from the use of objects and pictures than from an uninterrupted drill on the tables. It also includes suggestions for teachers how to use the…

The secondary technical schools of the United States, because of their heterogeneity, present peculiar difficulties to an investigation along the lines laid down by the International Commission. While such schools have existed for many years, it is particularly within the last decade that a great increase in their numbers has taken place, for it…

Walkley, Raymond Lowrey, Comp. – United States Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior, 1914
Within recent years there has been an extensive discussion of the relation of secondary to higher education and of the high school to the college. With an increase in the number of high schools and high-school students, and with the awakened desire for a greater economy in education and more definite standards, this relation has become still more…
