TELEND STANFORD JUNIOR UNIVERSI PREFACE. N mental culture, no less than in manual labor, it is desirable to have instruments especially adapted to the work to be performed. Of late it has become very evident that there are numerous learners, of limited opportunities, who require an easy, comprehensive course of arithmetic. Such, having no time to master the several books of a consecutive series, however excellent, demand, in a single book, the more important principles of the science, combined with the more useful applications to ordinary business computations. In most Graded Schools, also, there may be found a class of pupils who might advantageously use a brief elementary course, uniting mental and written exercises, before passing to any more elaborate treatise. Experience has demonstrated that beginners are best initiated into any branch by means of repeated simple illustrations and numerous easy examples. These conditions have been carefully kept in view, during the preparation of this work, and no labor has been spared to embody such improved methods of putting things, sanctioned by the best educators, as may not heretofore have found a place in any text-book. |
