Excerpt from Bradbury's Eaton's Practical Arithmetic, Combining Oral and Written Exercises

IN the preparation of this work the author has endeavored to make a text-book that shall aid in teaching the art of arith metic without any unnecessary discussion of the subject as a science. All the subjects have been made as practical as pos sible; and all obsolete and useless matter and puzzling exam ples have been omitted.

The number of rules has been reduced to a minimum. For example, but one rule is given for multiplication of fractions, one for division of fractions, and two for all cases of reduction of compound numbers, whether integral or fractional.

It combines oral and written exercises; and special pains has been taken to give examples that are practical, and that conform to the usual experiences of daily life. In the Appen dix are given seven hundred additional examples for written work, to be drawn from at the discretion of the teacher, for use in connection with the regular work, and for a general review of the subject.
