A Complete Arithmetic: With Oral and Written Exercises (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Complete Arithmetic: With Oral and Written Exercises

The Object of this work is to give a complete course in all those portions Of Arithmetic which are required for the actual business of life, and at the same time to furnish the pupil with a clear and comprehensive knowledge of the science of numbers.

The principles, therefore, that have been followed in the preparation of this work are embodied in the following ques tions: lst, What are the actual demands of practical life f 2d, What does a logical development of the subject require 1?

In the application of these principles it has been found necessary to omit some subjects usually found 1n Arithmetics to greatly abridge and simplify the discussion of Denominate Numbers, Percentage, Proportion, etc.; and to place a number of other topics of local application, or of minor importance to the majority of pupils of the public schools of America, in a Supplement.
