A rule in algebra is the subject named here, and the title suggests a lighthearted treatment of classroom mathematics rather than a technical lesson. Algebra was a standard part of American schooling by the 19th century, taught through textbooks, slates and recitation, so a joke about a new rule would have been familiar to many viewers. The record does not name a maker or date, so the exact circumstances of its creation are unknown. Its interest for historians lies in what it suggests about how ordinary people regarded mathematics and learning in its era.
