TT has seomed to the authors of the NORMAL COURS IN NUMBer that there is room for another series of Arithmetics, notwithstanding the fact that there are many admirable books on the subject already in the field. The ELEMENTARY ARITHMETIC is the result of the experience of a supervisor of primary schools in a leading American city. Finding it quite impossible to secure satisfactory results by the use of such elementary arithmetics as were available, she began the experiment of supplying supplementary material. An effort was made to prepare problems that should be in the highest degree practical, that should develop the subject systematically, and that should appeal constantly to the child's ability to think. Believing that abundant practice is a prime necessity to the acquisition of skill, the number of problems was made unusually large. The accumulations of several years have been carefully re-examined, re-arranged, and supplemented, and are now presented to the public for its candid consideration. Not the least valuable feature of this book is the careful gradation of the examples, securing thereby a natural and logical development of number work. No space is occupied with the presentation of theory, —that side of the subject being left to the succeeding book. The first thoughts are what and how, —these so presented that the processes shall be easily comprehended and mastered. Subsequently, the why may be intelligently considered and readily under-stood. The ADVANCED ARITHMETIC is the outgrowth of a somewhat similar experience in the class-room of a teachers training-school. For many years an opportunity was afforded to study the effects upon large numbers of pupils of the current methods of instruction in arithmetic. The result of such observation was the conviction that the rational side of the subject is seriously neglected. An effort was made to supplement the ordinary text-book by a study of principles and by explanations of processes. The accumulations of fifteen years have been edited with all of the discrimination of which the authors were capa-ble. Great care has been exercised in the presentation of principles and in the formulation of processes, to the end that the learner shall have every facility for the use of his reasoning powers, and at no point be relieved from the proper exercise of his mental activity and acumen. It is hoped that the book may contribute somewhat to the movement, now so happily going on, that looks toward the disestablishment of the method of pure au-thority, and the establishment of a method that makes its appeal to intelligence and reason. The authors desire to express their appreciation of the excellent suggestions offered by many friends; but especial thanks are due Professor DAVID FELMLEY, of the Illinois State Normal School, for his discriminating criticisms and valuable assistance.
