Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Foundational Study in the Pedagogy of Arithmetic The problem of arithmetical teaching has been attacked in the past from many avenues of approach. Several interesting treatises, written from almost every point of view except from the insights gained by careful first-hand study of cases and experimental trial of adults and children, have appeared. While these have been suggestive and valuable according to their lights, manifestly they are makeshifts awaiting more thoroughgoing and systematic attempts to render available to teachers and students of education the scholarly investigations that have been going on for the past decade or more and that have been entombed for the most part in the libraries of our universities. Many of these need popularizing and to an extent rewriting, since, unfortunately, our best investigators are not always our best expositors. If the author has succeeded in summarizing and organizing to some extent these widely scattered studies into the genesis, psychology, statistics, and didactics of number in a manner to make them readable and interesting as well as more concisely contributory to the kind of material which he feels must be the subject-matter of the prolegomena to any future arithmetical didactic, he wall feel duly rewarded. In all of this work as well as in the original work of part two, heartfelt acknowledgment of the helpfulness and guidance of Assistant Professor Paul R. Radosavljevich, of the faculty of the School of Pedagogy of New York University, is hereby made; also to Professor Robert McDougall and especially to Dean Balliet of this School for encouragement and counsel.
