Excerpt from The Vermont School Journal, Vol. 6: Devoted to the Educational Interests of Vermont; January to June, 1864 I have noticed with much interest your success in teach ia teaching Arithmetic and Reading. There is no branch of study unimportant, or that can be badly taught without injury. But these two are of paramount importance. Arithmetic, (mental especially,) is the foundation of all mathematical study. If this branch be not properly taught all subsequent study in the department, will be a failure. Besides, a correct knowledge of Arithmetic is essential to success in business. You teach this branch practically and thoroughly. Your pupils acquire a facility in mentat calculations seldom met with, and they evince a knowl edge not only of facts but of principles. The dull and useless routine of book education is discarded from your school room, and the science with its practical appli cations is thoroughly taught.'

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Hiram Orcutt was born on February 3, 1815, the youngest son of ten children born to John Snell and Hannah (Currier) Orcutt, of Acworth, New Hapshire. His father, a farmer, was barely able to provide for his large family, and Hiram was obliged to work on the farm.
Because of the poor situation of his family, Hiram attending the district school three months in each year. By the time he was eighteen, he had had one term in the academy at Chester, Vermont. Inspired by his instructors, he decided to prepare himself for college, and attended school at Cavendish, Vermont, Unity, New Hampshire, and Meriden, New Hampshire. At twenty-one, he entered Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachussets, and two years later matriculated at Dartmouth College, graduating in 1842. Throughout this period he supported himself by teaching school during the winter terms.
Immediately after graduating from college, Orcutt became principal of Hebron Academy. In 1843, he was elected principal of Thetford Academy, in which position he achieved a noteworthy reputation among the headmasters of New England. After twelve conspicuously successful years of service there, he accepted an appointment as principal of the Ladies' Seminary at North Granville, New York. Here, too, he distinguished himself as teacher and administrator. Having fulfilled the terms of his contract in 1860, he resigned and established the Glenwood Ladies' Seminary at West Brattleboro, Vermont, as a private venture. Four years later he was appointed principal of the Tilden Ladies' Seminary at West Lebanon, New Hampshire, and conducted both institutions successfully until 1868, when he sold his interest in the school at West Brattleboro. During these years, he found time to serve also as superintendent of schools in Brattleboro, Vermont, and Lebanon, New Hempshire (1860 - 66), and as editor of the Vermont School Journal (1861 - 65). He established various educational associations, and gave many lectures before teachers' institutes in both New Hampshire and Vermont.
For two years, 1870-72, Orcutt represented the town of Lebanon in the New Hampshire General Court. Here he drafted the measures which established the State Normal School at Plymouth, made public school attendance compulsory, and authorized towns to change from the district to the town system of school administration. For six years after its establishment in 1870 he assisted the Normal School as secretary of the board of trustees. In 1880, he resigned from the principalship of the Tilden Ladies' Seminary, and removed to Boston, where he spent the remainder of his life. As early as 1876, he had been a member of the advisory board of the New England Journal of Education, and in 1881 he was appointed associate editor and manager of the subscription department. From 1875 to 1898, when he retired, he was manager of the New England Bureau of Education, which under his direction, became the leading teacher's agency in Massachusetts.
Orcutt was a prolific and influential contributor of educational articles to New England periodicals and newspapers. In addition, he collaborated with Truman Rickard in the preparation of Class Book of Prose and Poetry (1847), a book that went through many editions. He published, also, Gleanings from School-Life Experience or, Hints to Common School Teachers, Parents and Pupils (1858); Methods of School Discipline (1871); Teachers' Manual (1871); Parents' Manual (1874); Home and School Training (1874); School Keeping; How to Do It (1885), and Among the Theologies (1888).
