numerical tangles until the father was
puzzled, and, perhaps, jealous
The new method is the result elf the
studies of William W. Speer assistant
superintendent of schools in Chicago.
The foundation of the Speer system is
in RELATIVELY of numbers. 1t aims to
show the child fixed unit, and from
that to reach to every other point in
the series in which that unit is the
first. The beginning of the system is
in the first grade. Squares of a series
OF sizes are drawn on the board and
the tots of six years. after having
learned what the unit square is, can
easily tell exactly what the others are
in comparison. Blocks are also used
when the teacher presents a series Of
five, which may represent the relation
2-4-S-i0 or 4-S-12-16-20 or 121h-25
-3712-50 or any other relation, the chill
dren know each number of the series
by numbers, as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and to say
that 80 1-3 is II of 1913 1-3 is no harder
10 them than to say that 1 is 1-3 of 8.
The same use of the unit in series run
through decimals and relieves much
OF the labor of arithmetic. Problems in
mental work, over which grandfathers
and grandmothers worked and labored,
are solved in a moment by tots. whose
parents. before they understand the
manner Of teaching, consider it pre-
posterous that they should have any
idea Of numbers at all.
The object is to teach beginners that
a number is not a fact, but that it is
a changeable quantity, varying with its
relation to another number. In using
the blocks in the school the instructor
will take the large block and ask
What is this?" and the children will
reply one, no matter what the size
may be. When spoken of in relation
to another block it is recognized even
by the children in the lowest grades as
being y 81 or whatever part of the
other block it may be. BY the objects
before them they learn to see the thing
what it is. even recognizing fractions
down to lip. In higher arithmetic
much of the same work is done. In
obtaining the square of numbers the
necessity for endless calculation is
done away with. For instance in
getting the square of so no mental ex-
ertion is necessary, a glance shows II
to be $500, but in 40 such is not the
case. The new method is to compare
and derive the square of 40 from the
square of so. The manner is this 40 is
less than so. One from 40 leaves 4S,
half Of 4S is "a, make it 2,400 and add 1,
GIVING the Square IN HuIlDeTS ABOVE
80 the difference between the number
and so is added to the half taken, the
number placed in 1000 place and the
square of the difference added. So in
the number around 100 or any other
number.
