Présentation de l'éditeur
Arithmetic should be to teach the pupil to cipher, to learn by doing. The shortest and surest road to a knowledge of Arithmetic is by solving problems, ,. not by memorizing rules or by demonstrating propositions. The pupil should be trained to obtain results rapidly and correctly. He should be taught, in questions involving decimal fractions, to limit the answers to the number of decimals required by the nature of the examples, and to avoid all superiluoas work. He should not be expected to discover the reason of a process until he fully understands the process; then he should be allowed to state the reason in his own language. This Arithmetic is not intended for beginners; but it is presumed that pupils will have a thorough knowledge of our First Steps inN umber, and be at least twelve years of age, before entering upon the study of this book. Decimal fractions are introduced at the beginning of the book. Experience proves that when thus taught they present no difficulty. The difficulty of decimal fractions arises solely from comparing them with common fractions, and is avoided by teaching decimals first. The pupil learns the notation on both sides of the decimal point as easily as on one side; provided the notation on both sides is presented at the same time. Much time is saved by strict adherence to the motto, Decimal fractions as soon as possible, thoroughly mastered; common fractions postponed as long as possible.
