A UNIQUE BOOK
The Natural Number Primer
By DAVID GIBBS, S.B. (Harvard)
Formerly Superintendent of Schools, Hudson and Groton, Mass., and Division Superintendent of Schools, Philippine Islands
Price, 25 cents
Unlike all other books, this primer teaches the most elementary ideas and forms of number and of language, at the same time. It may be used either with or independently of the regular reading primer. As a Language Primer it develops a practical vocabulary and the power of reading and expression. As a Number Primer it teaches in a very simple, logical way, the first steps in number. It is easy, and appeals to the natural interest of the child in counting, besides being adapted to his various capacities. There are abundant illustrations and very simple drawings which serve as models for the child. Each new term is illustrated and introduced in script. In the footnotes are helpful suggestions for teachers, outlining the oral work and blackboard drill. The book will overcome many difficulties now commonly found in teaching this subject, and will supplement thoroughly and satisfactorily the work of the teacher.
