Excerpt from Concise Business Arithmetic

The "Concise Business Arithmetic" has been prepared to meet the needs of those schools that have short courses in business arithmetic. It emphasizes fundamental processes and those subjects that are commonly used in the business world. The average student needs all the drill he can get to acquire accuracy and facility in the handling of numbers.

This book is made up of twenty chapters selected from the "Practical Business Arithmetic" (Revised) and retains the features of that volume that have been so highly commended by teachers, namely: the presentation of each subject in a logical order; the selection of problems that appeal to the needs and the interest of the student and of the community as well; the omission of complex and useless problems and the inclusion of such material as will meet the needs of persons who have time for only a brief study of business arithmetic; a plan of grading and grouping problems which aids the student in acquiring facility and in advancing his educational equipment; the inclusion of an amount of work that will contribute to real efficiency; the development of subjects inductively and the omission of set rules; the unusual amount of work in the different chapters.

The text includes the computation of loss and gain on the selling price, tests on a time limit, additional work on graphs, statistical matter based on the latest census, and an appendix on the varied uses of the adding machine.

As this work is based on the "Practical Business Arithmetic," of which the late John H. Moore was the senior author, it seems proper to retain his name in the first place on the title-page of this volume, the actual preparation of which has necessarily been entirely in the hands of the junior author of the Moore and Miner textbooks.
