think, confer favor on the public, by in
inserting this letter. Few are aware of the
importance of Uniformity Of Tert Books.
A teacher may have twelve pupils about
equally advanced, studying Arithmetic in
half as many different books. If he classes
them, there will be six classes; then of
course if he instructs them all, he must
teach the same things at least SIR times If
he does not instruct them all, some of the
pupils must be neglected. If he does do
this, other branches must be unattended to
for the teacher cannot increase his time
at will, or " cause the sun to stand still. -
Now, suppose these twelve students all
have the same kind of books. Then he
could unite them in one class, each could
stand at the black board, (Which should be
in every school-housc,) and impart the
knowledge of certain given principle, to
the whole class once for all. BY this means
the value Of the teachers time and labor
ES~1'- is made fire times greater. % So to
a greater or less extent, is il in every other
department of school instruction.
