Excerpt from Oral Exercises in Number: For Use in Grades Four to Eight Inclusive

This elementary knowledge of number is essential not only to a common-school education, but as a foundation for all advanced work in mathematics. If this foundation is weak, the work built upon it will be weak; for it 'is clear that no problem can be correctly solved if the simple operations which it involves are incorrectly performed. Nor should we be satisfied with accuracy alone. The facts of number are not in any true sense learned until they can be quickly, as well as accurately, recalled.

If the teaching of the fundamental facts of number is to be effective -if these simple number combinations, which are, the very alphabet of all mathematical work, are to be mastered systematic training must be given. No royal road to the accomplishment of this end has yet been found. Mastery of these tools of the mind, like the mastery of a musical instrument, comes through long-continued practice only. In other words, drill is indispensable.
