Excerpt from Studies in Deductive Logic: A Manual for Students

For a long time back there have been published books containing abundance of mathematical exercises, and not a few works consist exclusively of such exercises. In recent years the teachers of other branches of science, such as Chemistry and the Theory of Heat, have been furnished with similar collections of problems and numerical examples. There can be no doubt about the value of such exercises when they can be had. The great point in education is to throw the mind of the learner into an active, instead of a passive state. It is of no use to listen to a lecture or to read a lesson unless the mind appropriates and digests the ideas and principles put before it. The working of problems and the answering of definite questions is the best, if not almost the only, means of ensuring this active exercise of thought. It is possible that at Cambridge mathematical gymnastics have been pushed to an extreme, the study of the principles and philosophy of Mathematics being almost forgotten in the race to solve the greatest possible number of the most difficult problems in the shortest possible time. But there can be no manner of doubt that from the simple addition sums of the schoolboy up 'to problems in the Calculus of Variations and the Theory of Probability, the real study of Mathematics must consist in the student cracking his own nuts, and gaining for himself the kernel of understanding.

Excerpt from Studies in Deductive Logic: A Manual for Students

In preparing these 'Studies' I have tried to carry forward the chief purpose of my Elementary Lessons in Logic, which purpose was the promotion of practical training in Logic. In the preface to those Lessons I said in 1870: 'The relations of propositions and the forms of argument present as precise a subject of instruction and as vigorous an exercise of thought, as the properties of geometrical figures or the rules of Algebra. Yet every schoolboy is made to learn mathematical problems which he will never employ in after life, and is left in total ignorance of those simple principles and forms of reasoning which will enter into the thoughts of every hour. ... In my own classes I have constantly found that the working and solution of logical questions, the examination of arguments and the detection of fallacies, is a not less practicable and useful exercise of mind than is the performance of calculations and the solution of problems in a mathematical class.'

The considerable use which has been made of the Elementary Lessons seems to show that they meet an educational want of the present day.
