"What Arithmetic Shall We Teach?" is a seminal exploration of mathematics pedagogy and curriculum design by Guy Mitchell Wilson. This work addresses the fundamental question of which mathematical skills are truly essential for students in a modern society. Wilson delves into the practical application of arithmetic, advocating for a curriculum that prioritizes functional utility and social efficiency over abstract, purely formal theory.

By examining the mathematical needs of everyday life and various vocations, the author provides a data-driven framework for educators and administrators to refine their instructional goals. This volume serves as an invaluable resource for those interested in the history of education, the evolution of mathematics teaching, and the ongoing debate regarding academic standards and practical learning. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the pedagogical theories of the early 20th century and continues to resonate with contemporary discussions on curriculum relevance and the role of mathematics in public instruction.
