The Junior-class Arithmetic: Oral and Written. Designed for Graded Schools Daniel W. Fish

At the present time there is an obvious demand that one of the books composing an arithmetical series should be adapted to that numerous class of pupils whose time and opportunities are too limited to permit their acquiring more than the elementary principles of arithmetic and the applications of these to the ordinary business transactions. In the preparation of this treatise, the author has endeavored to supply such a book, by confining the treatment to a limited number of topics of the most useful and practical character, and by so thoroughly developing each, both in theory and applications, as to obviate entirely the necessity of studying these portions of the subject again in any larger book. Scarcely too much importance can be given to the study of mental arithmetic in our elementary schools. There is no doubt, that when properly taught, it is one of the most effective means of intellectual training; and yet, although the mental exercises should always precede the written, this part of the subject is too generally neglected for want of time. In this work, oral and written exercises have been thoroughly combined the oral preceding and made preparatory to the written. Sufficient oral arithmetic has been introduced to answer the purpose of a separate book, thus ensuring attention to the subject and the saving of much valuable time.
