Excerpt from Problems in Arithmetic, Vol. 2: For Grade IV This book, like Book I of the Series, contains - without count; ing combinations - one thousand problems. Like those in Book I they are practical, comprehensive, simple, systematic, progressive. The first seven hundred and fifty are arranged in lessons of five problems each, and generally each problem in a lesson differs in character from every other problem in the lesson. The last two hundred and fifty problems are arranged in groups of twenty-five problems similar to one another, under ten titles. These are de signed for use in giving emphasis to any kind of problems which prove especially difficult for a class. A good method of instruction in arithmetic secures absolute accuracy in the various operations, leads the pupil to the discovery of the truths to be taught, and stimulates and strengthens the logical faculties. It makes every lesson its own reward for effort through the joy of victory over difficulty. No text-book can com pel these qualities of instruction, but it is believed that this little volume will tend to provoke and develop them. The problems presented in the following pages are generally very simple. Occasionally a few difficult problems are inserted as a challenge to the best pupils. Teachers should be sure that every new term is made clear to the pupils when it first appears. Feet, inches, pounds, square feet, cubic inches, etc., should be as real to the child as chestnuts, straw berries, or slates; and they should be made real by the same means.
