Excerpt from Minimum Course of Study, 1922: Reports of Committees on Minimum Essentials in Elementary Education
On January 4, 1918, the superintendents of schools of nine cities of Southern California - Dr. Albert Shiels of Los Angeles; Dr. L. M. Rhodes of Pasadena; Mr. Horace M. Rebok of Santa Monica; Mr. W. L. Stephens of Long Beach; Mr. J. A. Cranston of Santa Ana; Mr. G. Vernon Bennett of Pomona; Mr. C. H. Covell of Redlands; Mr. A. N. Wheelock of Riverside; and Mr. Roy B. Stover of San Bernardino - met to consider ways and means of improving the schools for the welfare of which they were responsible.
The war was on and the lesson of the importance of saving everything which could be converted to human uses, and giving up everything which was in any way superfluous and wasteful, was being brought home as it never had been brought home before. People everywhere were saving money, clothing, food, fuel, manpower, so that the government might have them for use in defeating the enemy.
As we canvassed the question: What can the schools do to assist our nation's undertaking? it seemed to us that, in addition to all the immediate service which they could render, they might apply the same principles of conservation which Mr. Hoover was urging upon us to the mental rationing of our children.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a minimum course of study in arithmetic. As part of the study, numerous educators and business leaders contributed their collective knowledge to establish a cohesive idea of the most pertinent knowledge pupils should acquire from arithmetic instruction during their time in elementary school. The author presents a summative overview of the history of arithmetic education in the United States, beginning with the work of Warren Colburn in the early 1800s and extending to the present day. By referencing other scholars and their research, this book explores arithmetic's place within the broader context of education. The book's thematic depth lies in its exploration of the tension between the traditional scope of arithmetic instruction and the evolving needs of society. Through a series of questionnaires, surveys, and committee discussions, this book offers reasoned insight into the essential components of arithmetic instruction while suggesting areas of the subject that may be safely omitted. Ultimately, the insights presented in this book provide a valuable resource for educators, educational administrators, and parents alike. Its thorough research and reasoned approach offer valuable guidance on how to shape the future of arithmetic instruction.
