A New Practical and Theoretical Arithemtic, in Which, in Addition to the Usual Modes of Operation, the Science of Numbers, the Prussian Canceling System, and Other Important Abbreviations, Hold a Prominent Place (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A New Practical and Theoretical Arithemtic, in Which, in Addition to the Usual Modes of Operation, the Science of Numbers, the Prussian Canceling System, and Other Important Abbreviations, Hold a Prominent Place

We place much importance on the canceling or factor sys tem, in performing operations requiring multiplications and divisions, for their great utility in algebra, when the pupil arrives at that science; and that teacher who looks no fur ther than to solve a few problems in arithmetic, has not a sufficiently extended view to judge of the merits of the sys tem; therefore, let none such condemn.
