Synopsis
Excerpt from Arithmetical Problems for Supplementary Work
This work has been prepared after repeated assurances that it is needed. The authors submit it to teachers and pupils with the hope that they will find it suited to their needs. It is not intended to supplant any text-book on arithmetic, but to furnish-a variety of supplementary work to be used with any complete arithmetic.
An abundance of drill-work is provided to secure rapidity in the simple operations. An attempt has been made to break away from mechanical processes which require no reasoning on the part of the pupil.
The character of the problems are such that original thought and investigation are necessary. These features have been kept prominent throughout the work. The whole field has been covered where additional problems are deemed necessary, especially in the applications of Per centage and Mensuration so much in demand. Many of the best text-books in use have been consulted, and we have availed ourselves of help from every source, selecting the best features from many authors.
The work has been prepared with extreme care, and many hours have been spent in examination of libraries, in inter viewing men of various vocations, in taking actual measure ments, and in hunting up original material for the basis of the problems.
The arrangement and choice of material, the freshness in style, the avoidance of awkward fractions, the thorough ness with which the ground is covered in all points where mistakes are likely to occur, the care to emphasize oft neglected principles, the extent of the work, and the pains taking care with which this work has been prepared, make us feel confident that this little work will commend itself to the good judgment of all thinking teachers.
