Excerpt from The New Arithmetic: Compiled by Three Hundred Prominent Educators and Edited
The contributors to the exercises in this book are about three hundred in number. The names of those from whose contri butions I have drawn most largely are adjoined. I am myself responsible for the plan of the work, for the grading, and for a large number of the exercises. Explanations of theory, and other introductory matter, which the teacher should himself provide, I have purposely omitted. I have endeavored to pre pare a pupils' hand-book. The practical character of the exer cises will commend them to all who have at heart the mental development and the business success of their pupils. I have avoided all exercises requiring much labor and affording very little intellectual or practical benefit. The work of the ele mentary departments prepares the pupil for the study of alge bra, geometry, and the higher mathematics, while the more, advanced work prepares him for the active duties of everyday life, and at the same time gives him such mathematical train ing as he may not have time to secure in any other way.
