Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Arithmetic: Advanced Book To meet the needs of progressive teachers in the best public schools has been the first aim of the authors in writing the present work. In the effort to carry out this purpose great care has been taken to make the book modern yet conservative. It is believed that an examination will show the book to be sound in theory, modern in method, strong in inductive work, clear and accurate in all statements, correct in its teaching of business practice, and copious and varied in its supply of practical work and problems. Special attention is called to the following features: 1. Inductive Method. The inductive method is applied throughout the major part of the book. New topics are introduced by carefully prepared questions and suggestions designed to develop in the pupil's mind a correct understanding of the principles to be taught, and to give clear insight into arithmetical relations and processes. 2. Oral and Written Work are given with every appropriate subject, not only to impress the principles thereof, but also to provide ample practice in making solutions and abundant material for mental discipline. To lead the pupil to think in general terms, as well as to familiarize him with the use of symbols and lay a foundation for the study of algebra, numerical exercises are followed by others involving the same processes with letters. 3. Rules and Definitions. Few rules are given, and these usually in the form of directions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
