Overview

The preparation of this text was undertaken in the belief that the arithmetic of the grammar school and of the commercial course of the high school should teach the methods most in vogue in the business world, and that those methods should be so taught as to form correct habits in those who are to attack the problems of real life. It is distinctly a business arithmetic, presenting the minimum of theory and the maximum of practice in business methods. Various methods are presented, but only those used in practical business computations. The topics treated, by chapters, are: addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, decimals, fractional parts (short methods), fractions, measures (length, area, volume, time, weight, and value), French metrical system, percentage, trade discount, commission, taxes and duties, interest, banking and discount, stocks and bonds, insurance, proportion, proportional parts, and partnership. These subjects are chosen with reference to business needs and they are treated in such a manner as to give the pupil the largest possible amount of drill in practical business methods. The book purposely brings the work of the school and the needs of common life into vital connection. It is suitable for use in the grammar school and in the commercial courses of the high school.
