Excerpt from Durell's Arithmetic, Vol. 2 of 2

The main purpose in writing this series of Arithmetics has been to give the subject a broader and more vital practical meaning. By special treatment of the concrete applications of arithmetic, the series develops bread-winning power; and by cultivating a grasp of the functions of number processes, it develops a broad, cultural power.

Among the features which contribute to these ends are the Industry Reviews, which treat of the arithmetical element in representative industries, as agriculture, mining, and forestry. The permanent number facts in geography, history, physics, and other departments have been collected in tables and used repeatedly in examples. These features give a correlation of arithmetic with other studies.

The systematic development of principles is a primary aim of the series. All informational matter has been introduced in such a way as not to break up the regular formal development of principles. For instance, the Industry Reviews are each placed at the end of a chapter.
