MILNE'S NEW ARITHMETICS:
Elements of Arithmetic 30 cents
Standard Arithmetic 65 cents
These books constitute an entirely new two-book series, embodying what
is considered the best in modern methods of teaching arithmetic. It is
a philosophical, original, progressive, and thoroughly modern course.
The Standard Arithmetic provides a thorough and systematic training of
pupils to rapidity and accuracy, while at the same time it aims to
help their analytical powers and reasoning faculties. Business
processes are introduced in such a way as to render them of the
greatest practical value. Other features are a new order and
arrangement of subjects; lucidity of explanations; brevity and
accuracy of definitions, principles, and rules.
ROBINSON'S NEW ARITHMETICS:
New Primary Arithmetic 18 cents
New Rudiments of Arithmetic 30 cents
New Practical Arithmetic 65 cents
These revisions present in a new dress all of those distinctive
features which have contributed to the success and popularity of
Robinson's Progressive Arithmetics, while introducing much important
and valuable matter not to be found in the earlier editions. The New
Primary and New Practical Arithmetics form an excellent two-book
course. The Rudiments is an intermediate book, giving additional drill
and strengthening the series where most pupils are weak. The three
books are therefore confidently recommended when time will permit
their use.
