Synopsis

Excerpt from Farm Arithmetic: To Be Used With Any Text-Book of Arithmetic or Without This book is primarily, as its title implies, a farm arithmetic. It is not intended to be a medium for the setting forth of the general principles of arithmetic. It is hoped that it may serve two other very important ends in elementary and higher schools. First, it will supply new, concrete, useful, and interesting problems for practice, drill, and review. Second, it will tend to develop in the mind of the pupil an appreciation of and an insight into the quantitative side of farm life. A boy or girl who has once become interested in solving the problems of the farm will not easily be drawn away from the farm. This book may be used at any time after the fundamental principles of arithmetic have been covered, i. e., during the last two or three years of the elementary school, and should ordinarily be completed before the high school is reached. It may be used alone or in conjunction with any standard grammar school, advanced, or high school arithmetic. It is also hoped that this volume may be helpful to a large number of farmers and country folk generally who are interested in the many numerical and quantitative problems that have so much to do with success on the farm.

Product Description:

Excerpt from Farm Arithmetic: To Be Used With Any Text-Book of Arithmetic or Without

There is much in modern higher arithmetic that is of but little value to certain classes of pupils. Particularly is this true of the subject matter of many text-books now in use in rural schools - country, town, and village. These books were made by city people for city children and are, for the most part, admirably adapted to city schools. The prob lems deal very largely with city affairs and occupations. N ow, it is a fact that the fundamentals of arithmetic may be stated in terms of agriculture and that such a statement is much needed in rural life affairs.
