Excerpt from School Arithmetics, Vol. 2 This work has been prepared to meet a demand for a book which shall present the great essentials of arithmetic as required in Grades V and VI of our schools. The authors have not attempted to make a book of methods for teachers or to provide for the technical educa tion of pupils in any special vocation; but they have furnished the teacher with the laborsaving material needed in a thorough course in arithmetic, they have motivated every process, they have sug gested fields for the development of interesting local problems, they have suggested a large number of appropriate projects, and they have given to the pupils those fundamental elements of the subject which assure the command of numbers that will be needed in after life.
