Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Teacher, Vol. 8: Devoted to the Methods and Principles of Teaching, From September 1890 to June 1891, Inclusive Few pupils will do a work example the first time and discover for themselves that they have an answer which, intelligently stated, means that it would take a boy and a man, working together, longer to do a piece of work than if either did it alone. And there is nothing absurd to pupils, even in higher grades than the primary, in saying, If one man can do a piece of work in six days, it will take nine men nine times six days. Parents who are able to give their children principles of study, are usually strong advocates of helping children at home and their children prove the rule, of course. Why should they not?
