Rural Teachers Given Suggestions on
Teaching Arithmetic.

In a bulletin on Arithmetic recently
issued by the State Department of
Education the rural teacher of many
grades is referred to the following
quotation from McMurray as being
helpful in determining just what is es-
sential when there is not time to
teach much beyond what is actually
necessary:
For the ordinary purposes of non
technical daily life we need little of
pure arithmetic beyond % counting,
the knowledge of numbers, and their
representation to billions; (2) addition
and multiplication of integers. or deci-
NAL fractions with not more than three
decimal places, and of simple common
fractions subtraction Of integers and
decimal fractions and (4) a little d.
vision"
"Of applied arithmetic we need to
know % a few tables of denominate
numbers; co the simple problems in
reduction of such numbers, as from
pounds to ounces; ca slight amount
concerning addition and multiplication
of such numbers. as from pounds to
ounces; ca some simple numerical
geometry, including the mensuration
of rectangles and parallelepipeds; and
co enough of percentage to compute
a commercial discount and the simple
interest on a note"
