Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Arithmetic for High Schools and Collegiate Institutions The preparation of this work on arithmetic was under taken by me only after much urging from many sides. It would seem that, while much time is given to this subject in our High Schools, the results are not what might be expected. I have thought that if less time were given to the solving of strange and artificial problems and more to the theory of the subject and to the careful working out of normal problems, the subject would have a higher value educationally and practically. Students would be better prepared for dealing with such problems as present them selves later, when they are called upon actually to apply their knowledge. On this account I have given much attention to the theory of the subject, and to methods of computation. The chapters on commercial applications are somewhat concise, the object being to avoid the confusion too often caused by the presentation of details.
