Excerpt from The Progressive Intellectual Arithmetic: On the Inductive Plan; Being a Sequel to the Progressive Primary Arithmetic, Containing Many Original Forms of Analysis Applicable to a Great Variety of Practical Questions Pupils of nearly the same degree of advancement should be classed together. Regular exercises should be assigned to the class, and sufficient time allowed them to thoroughly examine their lesson before being called upon to recite. The use of the book at the time of recitation should be strictly prohibited, except, perhaps, in some of the more difficult lessons in the latter part of the work. Each exam ls should be read but once, slowly and distinctly, the pupils called upon promiscuously, who should arise, stand erect, repeat the example, and then give the analysis. This will secure c 038 attention. Every question should be clearly and thoroughly analyzed, and the pupil required to adhere strictly to the forms of solution given, unless better ones can be substituted; and in no case should he be allowed to omit the conclusion, commencing with Therefore. The class should be encouraged to detect and correct errors in statement or analysis, to criticise and make proper inquiries, all of which should be signaled by the uplifted hand.
