Excerpt from The Franklin Primary Arithmetic The franklin primary arithmetic is intended to be an aid in teaching numbers by the objective or intuitive method. As it is from objects that the child gets his first notions of numbers, so it is by the use of objects that the teacher will best succeed in imparting clear and lasting knowledge of num bers. Throughout this book, therefore, numbers are treated as numbers of things and the things are supposed to be either actually, or in imagination, present before the pupil. To aid in this appeal to the senses a very liberal use has been made of pictures and other illustrations these will, to some extent, take the place of tangible objects while taken in connection with the text they serve a no less important purpose in awakening and training the imagination, or in aiding the memory to retain observed facts.
