Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arithmetical Problems: Arranged for Drill and Review in Primary, Grammar, and High Schools Having felt the necessity of a larger number of progressive examples for practice than is usually found in the text-books, in order to secure accuracy and rapidity in arithmetical operations, I prepared, some time since, and used in my own school, most of the examples included in the first three chapters of this book; and by request of many experienced teachers, additions have been made to those examples, and the work is now offered to the public; not, however, as a rival to any other text-book, but as one designed to be used with, and supplementary to, any text-book in use. Experience shows that much time is lost by inaccuracy in computation, and that many pupils who can perform, satisfactorily, examples arranged under certain rules, fail to perform original and miscellaneous examples, given by the teacher, even though more simple and involving the same processes; because before one principle with its applications is understood, another is thrust upon them. I have endeavored to obviate these difficulties by arranging the work in such order as to test the ability of the pupils upon any given topic, and to furnish a thorough drill.
