The Mental Arithmetic for the Home and School
“The Mental Arithmetic for the Home and School” has come to our table. It is just what its name implies; it is so much better than the generality of mental arithmetics that it is entitled to the definite article. It deals with mathematics in the concrete largely; and when the student completes it, he knows many things more than mere abstract mathematics. He will have many facts, commercial, physiological, botanical, mechanical, geographical, zoological, meteorological, chronological, historical, and Biblical. Such an arithmetic arouses and stimulates interest, and is worth a ton of those which deal with abstract mathematics and almost wholly meaningless problems. It is by Prof. E. A.
