"I Can Work Without Worrying If Sickness Comes, My Income Will Not Stop" What a wonderful thing it is to be able to say "I can work without worrying." Worry kills more people than any physical malady. It dogs their steps through life, reduces their efficiency, deprives them of the joy of working, and finally cuts them off ten or fifteen years before their respective allotments. How remarkable it is, then, to find a simple plan, as this Teacher did, by which one may work without worrying. Read what Mrs. Trackett, of North Fond du Lac, Wis., last spring wrote to the T. C. U.:— Gentlemen: Twice during this severe winter I needed the aid of the T. C U., because I have a family depending on me for support... I am most grateful to the friend through whom I joined it. I can work without worrying, knowing certainly that if sickness does come, my income will not stop. 1 The Teachers Casualty Underwriters is a National Organization of Teachers for Teachers.

It is emphasized every day in such incidents as the arrest of one of them in the very act of carrying a highly explosive bomb on board of a troopladen transport in New York City; in frequent fires of mysterious origin at the Ayer cantonment; and in almost daily explosions in munition factories. It is clear that the American government and people cannot allow all this to go on with good-natured indifference. Not every whelmed, solely by numbers.

Accidents are expensive, especially when occurring away from home, and the benefits of this insurance were gratefully received." An Illinois Teacher writes: "I wish to thank you most heartily for the prompt and cheerful payment of my claim. A number of my teacher friends have been interested in knowing whether your company would really pay for quarantine. Many of them had never heard of such an insurance before, and since my check has come, several have inquired more closely into your plan."

Colvin, Prof. of Educational Psychology, Brown University, Providence, R. I.: They are a distinct contribution to the teaching of this subject. Miriam S. Skidmore, State Normal School, Willimantic, Conn.: The plan of the books is especially to be commended as all the essentials of arithmetic are taught in six years, and Book III makes such practical applications of them. W. A. Maddox, Principal, State Normal School, Oswego, N. Y.: They are nearer our needs than any series I have examined. Ann E. Pierce, Dean of Women, State College for Teachers, Albany, N. Y.: They are full of splendid suggestions of method and material for the teaching of arithmetic, and are proving very helpful to me in the course in methods which I am presenting. Chas. Fordyce, Dean, Teachers College, University of Nebraska: I regard the Walsh-Suzzallo Arithmetics as the best contribution on the subject. We use them in our Teachers College. Ellwood P. Cubberley, Prof. of Education, Stanford University, Cal.: The old Walsh series was good, but Professor Suzzallo's revision is better. J. F. Guy, Dept. of Mathematics, Pittsburgh Training School, Pittsburgh, Pa.: To my mind the Walsh-Suzzallo Arithmetics are the first really modern books in arithmetic that I have seen. Helen Giliss, National Cathedral School for Girls, Washington, D. C.: The arrangement of material is most advantageous from the standpoint of presentday theory in teaching arithmetic. F. A. Larck, Principal, Stowe School, Chicago, Ill. As a sample of skill and sense in mathematical arrangement and selection, they are superior and more up to date than any other set of arithmetic books that I have seen. A. G. Ferguson, Superintendent, Bahlonega, Ga.: They are just the books I have been looking for for several years. A Course of Study in Arithmetic and a monograph on D. C. HEATH & CO., Publishers |
