Arithmetic Once Was Common.

, At the time OF the colonization Oh
America in the first half of the seven
tecnth century arithmetic was not con-
sidered essential to a boys education
unless he was to enter conlnerclai ilie
or certain trades. The instruction i'll
arithmetic was often given in another
school. called writing school or Il
reckoning school. When arithmetic
was taught in the grammar school It
was very documentary. Not only was
this true. but among the nobility ana
the aristocracy of the educated. arllll-
metic was looked upon rs common,
"vle." "mechnnic," because 1t was the
accomplishment of clerks, artisans
tredesInen and others who bore no
sign of heraidry. Consequently 1t was
beneath the dignity Of a boy unless he
was 'less capable Of learning and mt
test to be put to trndes.'
