Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Practical Arithmetic

Pupils can be trained to logical habits of mind and stimulated to a good degree of intellectual energy by solving problems suited to their capacities. By this course they acquire practical mastery over the everyday problems of common life as well as gain the very best mental discipline. The shortest and best way of learn ing Arithmetic is by solving problems. The rules which this book contains are not intended to be committed to memory, but to help the pupil to neat and intelligent methods. The rules follow explanations of processes, and no rule should be considered until the process which it summarizes is thoroughly understood. Dependence upon set rules and formulas is the worst possible mental slavery.
