Excerpt from Supplementary Work in Arithmetic, Vol. 1: LinesToo often the study of lines (long Measure) consists in simply learmng the table. Thousands have learned that 12 inches make one foot, 3 feet make one yard, 5% yards make one rod, without ever having seen anything a rod long, knowing it to be such. The writer speaks advisedly, he having been so informed by teachers from nearly every State in the Union. In fact, it is at the earnest request of these teachers that he sends out this Supplementary Work in Arithmetic, which, at best, is only a suggestion of what may be done in this intensely interesting subject. The first three years in school may be so improved as to make it possible for the children to judge distances and the lengths of objects from an inch to a chain long with almost absolute accuracy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
