Extract

For many years it has been my custom to take the junior students, that is to say the lowest class, in Mathematics for one hour a week: and a part of the session has been given to what may be called the simpler treatment of the principles of Arithmetic. No attempt has been made to touch the more difficult parts of this subject: no effort has been made to base, for example, the idea of fractions upon a purely abstract foundation.
