Présentation de l'éditeur
Business men generally agree in the statement that, after leaving school. they were obliged to learn, and in many cases to devise for themselves, methods of computation adapted to their use in business. The universality of this experience led the Author of thisS eries of Arithmetics to a careful and protracted investigation into the philosophy of the development of the mathematical powers of the mind, and to a critical examination into the present methods of teaching A rithmetic.

The acknowledged requisites of a good method of instruction are these: 1st. It must be adapted to the nature of both subject and learner; 2i. It must be an uninterrupted progress from the easy to the difficult; 3i. It must use facts known to the learner, in imparting to him a knowledge of the unknown subject; 4ih.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
