Book Description

Excerpt from Intermediate Arithmetic This book has been prepared to meet the demands of schools where the first work in number is taught orally. It begins at the point where students enter upon the study of what is commonly called written arithmetic. It contains a simple but logical presentation of the topics included within its scope. An abundance of written exercises has been supplied to secure expertness in computation, and a great number of oral examples to inspire the pupil with confidence in his ability to reason correctly. The book is comprehensive enough to meet the needs of those who, while they cannot remain in school long enough to become thoroughly versed in the science of arithmetic, yet desire to gain a knowledge of the principles and processes relating to practical life. The "Intermediate Arithmetic" serves a double purpose. It is a comprehensive elementary book, and a thorough preparation for the more rigid work of the author's "Standard Arithmetic."
