The Infant System

CHAPTER XII
13/21

&c.
Four are the half (1/2) of eight, &c.
In twenty-three are four times five, and three-fifths (3/5) of five; in thirty-five are four times eight, and three-eighths (3/8) of eight.
In twenty-two are seven times three, and one-third (1/3) of three.
In thirty-four are four times eight, and one-fourth (1/4) of eight.
The tables subjoined are repeated by the same method, each section being a distinct lesson.

To give an idea to the reader, the boy in the rostrum says ten shillings the half (1/2) of a pound; six shillings and eightpence one-third (1/3) of a pound, &c.
Sixpence the half (1/2) of a shilling, &c.

Always remembering, that whatever the boy says in the rostrum, the other children must repeat after him, but not till the monitor has ended his sentence; and before the monitor delivers the second sentence, he waits till the children have concluded the first, they waiting for him, and he for them; this prevents confusion, and is the means of enabling persons to understand perfectly what is going on in the school.
In a book lately published, which is a compilation by two London masters, it is stated, in the preface, that they were at a loss for proper lessons: had they used those in existence I cannot help thinking they were enough for the capacity of children under six years of age.
