Book excerpt: Excerpt from Teachers' Manual of Elementary Arithmetic, Vol. 1: The Numbers From 1 to 12 This little book has been prepared in the hope that it may be found useful by monitors, by pupil teachers, and by others, who from their limited experience in teaching may be glad to have some assistance in the work. A cursory glance will show that the subject is treated with what may seem to some persons needless detail. It must, however, be remembered that it is intended for the instruction of very young children, and that we are all apt to forget the difficulties we met with when we began to learn. Many things are now so familiar to us that we cannot even recollect the time when we did not know them, yet it does not follow that there were no obstacles to surmount in acquiring the knowledge. In the fulness of health and strength we walk without effort, forgetting that only by slow degrees did we learn so to adjust the action of the various muscles, as first to balance ourselves upright and then to progress from one point to another. But we still have sympathy with a child who is learning to walk, because we can see the trouble the mother or nurse has to take in teaching it. It is different with the first stages of mental growth; the mind works unseen by the outside observer, and a strong effort is needed to place ourselves in the position of the young learner. Indeed, we may safely assert that no one can quite do this; but the power of putting ourselves as nearly as possible in the mental attitude of our pupils is perhaps the most valuable gift that, as teachers, we can desire.
