Excerpt from Everyday Arithmetic, Vol. 3

This book is intended for use in the seventh and eighth grades. Continuing the plan of the series, its chief aim is to give pupils power to use number efficiently, as it occurs in everyday life. The preceding books have laid emphasis on home and school interests; this book reaches out into the world of business, industry, and civic affairs.

Under the dominant aim of mental discipline, which fastened itself upon the teaching of arithmetic many years ago, our instruction in this subject has, until recently, lagged sadly behind that in other subjects. Although the doctrine of mental discipline has professedly been abandoned by all enlightened teachers, our textbooks have not yet loosened the shackles of this formalistic view of the subject. The teaching of antiquated arithmetical processes has persisted in them, despite the fact that insufficient attention has been given to practice in the essential processes and that there is an increasing number of modem practical applications demanding attention. But, notwithstanding the inadequacy of former textbooks, progressive teachers, while seeking to conserve all that is socially valuable in the arithmetic taught under the old ideals, have shown themselves ready for a more vital kind of teaching.

The authors of the Everyday Arithmetic have attempted to write the books in this series from this new point of view. It has been assumed that every pupil needs a thorough foundation in all the essential processes, which, fortunately, are few in number, and which, when rightly taught, can be mastered by all pupils. Books One and Two of this series have given special attention to this attainment of arithmetical skill. In this book, exercises are introduced to make pupils conscious of their need of accuracy and skill in these processes and to lead them to ferret out and overcome any weaknesses that may still exist in their arithmetical training.
