In this way only is instruction made available, and discipline of mind secured. And it is equally important to teach correctly. Many do not teach facts ; others give no rea- sons for the facts asserted. Both these systems of instruction are defective. For example, in teaching Arithmetic we inquire of the school- boy, how many fundamental rules are there? Four, " is the reply. Some say, " Six. " (It must be so, for the books so have it. ) But SCHOOL INSTRUCTION. 41 what is Arithmetic ? " The sci...ence of numbers. '' What do you mean by numbers ? " Any aggre- gate of units. " What can we do with numbers ? " Add them together [Addition], and take them apart, or compare them [Subtraction]. " This is all we can do with whole numbers. Multipli- cation and Division are short methods of adding and subtracting not new rules. Addition and Subtraction of Compound Numbers and Duo- decimals, are but the repetition of the simple rules, under a different law of notation. Addition and Subtraction of Fractions are only adding and subtracting units which have a nominal divisor the common denominator.
