Abstract	:	Have you noticed, too, how people with a talent for calculation are naturally quick at learning almost any other subject; and how a training in it makes a slow mind quicker, even if it does no other good? Plato, The Republic. During the academic years 1993-1995, we conducted an experiment in mathematics classes at a community college located in a metropolitan city in the United States. We used mathematics classes to enhance the students' work and study habits and improve their concentration skills. This, in turn, produced good results in mathematics, and greatly improved the students' reading comprehension scores; as Plato had observed, mathematics can be a universal educational tool. ftnFrancis Macdonald Cornford translation, Oxford University Press, 1945.
