Excerpt from A Primary Arithmetic This little book, the first of our Series of Arithmetics, presup poses no knowledge of numbers whatever. It tries to give a cor rect idea of their value, both absolute and relative, by treating them concretely as well as abstractly from the very outset, pictorial illustrations being freely used for that purpose. We have not sought in its pages to go far, but to go thoroughly. It is therefore confined to the four fundamental operations, a very brief view of fractions, the most important tables Of moneys, weights, and meas ures, and easy exercises under them. These subjects, it is believed, are so treated, as to make the young pupil think for himself, and to lay the right kind Of foundation for a mathematical course. One thing is taught at a time, and great care has been taken to present every thing in its proper place. It will be Observed that through out the book slate exercises go hand in hand with mental Opera tions. In the author's Opinion, they are indispensable, from the first, for inspiring the beginner with that interest in the subject which is essential to success. This book imposes no labor on the teacher, in the way of ex plaining orally, furnishing examples, &c. It is thought to contain in itself all that is needed. The author would only ask those who use it to be sure that every lesson is thoroughly mastered, before proceeding to the next. Each principle presented, each table, should be perfectly understood and memorized before leaving it, even though it be necessary to repeat the lesson again and again. Time saved by allowing a Single lesson to pass unmastered, will be a tenfold loss in the end. The Roman Notation is not explained in this volume; but by means of the numerals used in the lesson-headings the pupil may readily be made to understand it.

Excerpt from Primary Arithmetic 1. In sequence of topics, to follow as Closely as pos sible such of the recent courses of study as have been the most carefully prepared for our public-school systems. However an author may feel as to details, he is in the main bound by the consensus of Opinion as thus expressed. The purely topical method, the attempt to exhaust a subject like common fractions in a single chapter, is now Obsolete in our leading schools, while the extreme spiral method is scrappy, uninteresting, and lacking in the continuity SO essential to thoroughness. Between these two comes the best type of our modern courses Of study, somewhat Spiral in arrangement, in that most subjects extend over several terms, but admitting of a topical arrangement within any one term, thus securing thoroughness and maintaining an interest.
