Excerpt from Lippincott's Mental Arithmetic Embracing the Principles of Analysis and Induction

The greatest praise of any system of education is that it puts a youth in proper relations with his environment, and trains him to self-reliance, enterprise, self-helpful ness, and heroism. To such a system certainly belongs the science of Mental Arithmetic, and the work we now present we trust sets forth, not unworthily, the principles upon Which the science is based.

Excerpt from Lippincott's Mental Arithmetic Embracing the Principles of Analysis and Induction

"Arithmetic - queen of the terrestrial sciences" is an encomium by no means inapplicable to what is distinctively called the mental system. That a very thorough and philosophical knowledge of Arithmetic in its various aspects may be obtained by processes carried on by the mind, in total independence of the mechanical help of pen or pencil, no longer needs demonstration. Multitudes of men and women are ready, at a minute's warning, to rise up and give emphatic testimony to the beneficence of the mental system as an educational force.

Docendo discimus. Not only those who are taught, but the teachers themselves who have adopted this system, and are faithfully applying it, are daily made conscious of its power as it develops within them the noble faculty of reason and fashions the invaluable habit of concentration. As the mind of the pupil unfolds, the mind of the teacher expands; both go on seeing clearly, and both escape the ditch into which the blind, leader and follower, inevitably fall.

In these modern times, Arithmetic is no longer considered, or certainly ought not to be, a mere compilation of mechanical rules and methods of operations that have no reasons for their existence that anybody is bound to respect.
