Excerpt from Higher Arithmetic

This book has been prepared for use in high schools and normal schools. The aim of the authors has been to furnish material that will develop skill in computation and the power to see and inter pret the quantitative relations that arise in modern every - day life, and that will give a knowledge of modern business and industrial practices. Since the problems of any vocation are based upon the fundamental principles of arithmetic but vary somewhat in the different vocations, the authors have sought to lay a solid foundation for the arithmetic work involved in all vocations, rather than to prepare for any particular one. They hold that by obtaining a thorough grounding in the fundamental principles of arithmetic, by mastery of rapid and accurate computation, and by learning to interpret quantitative relations, one is much better fitted to make satisfactory progress in any kind of arithmetical work than if he had been made a mere automaton in some partien lar type of such work.
