SCHOOL iPPAEiTDS. 405 riL;ute 1.—Numeral A skillful Teacher will turn the Numeral Fraruo to goodaccount, in teaching many things. It was primarily em-ployed for teaching small children to count. It may, how-ever, with equal advantage be used as a medium of ad-dressing the minds of children through the eye, while wespeak to the outer ear, in illustrating all of the simple, andsome of the more complex operations upon numbers. Bythis means the first lessons of children maybe renderedmore attractive, and impressions thus made upon theirminds will be stronger and more permanent. In the useof this simple instrument, addition, subtraction, multipli-cation, and division, may bo well illustrated, as may alsomany of the principles of fractions. It may be turned to admirable account in illustratingour Decimal Currency and decimal fractions. By its use,also, the square of any single figure may be readily roots of all perfect powers expressed by not exceed-ing two figures, may likewise be readily illustrated by it. 406 SCHOOL A
