Book excerpt: Excerpt from Examination Papers in Arithmetic: Designed for Use in High and Public Schools, and Especially Adapted for the Preparation of Candidates for the Various Examinations in Ontario This work has been prepared at the request of many Teachers and Inspectors, to meet an acknowledged want in connection with the High and Pubhc Schools of this country. It contains a Uthe papers that have been set at the Provincial Examinations since 1871, together with a large number of additional questions, original and selected, some of which have been specially prepared by Mathematical teachers of unquestionable ability. The questions have been arranged in sets, similar in character and about equal in difficulty to those usually given at the various examinations instituted by the Educational Department of Ontario. This arrangement, it is believed, will be found of great advantage, as affording the best means of uitgeest training and the best preparation for the examinations referred to. To be successful at these examinations, students must be trained to a complete independence of the mechanical rules and routine of the ordinary textbooks. This independence, with the self-reliance resulting from it, is to be secm-ed, not by solving questions set under given rules and formulas, but by constant practice in properly prepared sets of problems, in which neither rule nor answer is at hand to furnish clews and crutches to the halt and blind.
