HIS book embraces all the arithmetic necessary to success in THIS business. It has been specially prepared for use in business colleges in which the average period of attendance is six months. Under the competent instruction to be found in those institutions, the essentials of arithmetic, as here presented, can be thoroughly mastered within this short period, if the student is not hampered by the study of useless theories or obsolete topics. In its treatment of arithmetical subjects which every young business man must know, the book will be found unusually full, its special aim being to qualify young men in six months to handle quickly, accurately, and intelligently, the class of problems which are likely to arise in every-day business life. How well the authors have succeeded in accomplishing their purpose in the present volume, they are content to leave to the enlightened judgment of business educators, for whose benefit it is especially designed.
