SECTION SECOND.

LESSON I.

REMARKS. 1. Instead of writing the names of numbers, it is customary to express them by certain marks, or characters, called figures.

2. These figures are ten in number, and are called Arabic figures.

3. Taken separately, each figure means the same as the word placed under it in the following lines; thus,

0, 1, 2, 3. 4, 5, 6, 7. 8, 9. Naught, One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine.

4. To express numbers greater than nine, these figures are repeated and combined in various ways; thus,

22,.

23,.

24,.

twenty-one.

ninety-nine.

one hundred.

twenty-two. 102, one hundred and two. twenty-three. 205, two hundred and five. . twenty-four. 900,. . nine hundred. NOTE. It is presumed that the pupil is familiar with all the figures, and the manner of combining them so as to express small numbers, like those in the above Table, previous to studying this book. If, however, this is found to be untrue in any case, such pupil should be exercised by the teacher, upon the blackboard or elsewhere, until he can readily write in figures any number less than 1000.
