Excerpt from The Progressive Arithmetic, Vol. 2

The elementary principles of common fractions, decimal frac tions, and percentage are developed and illustrated in this book, but the more difficult phases of those subjects are reserved for the next book.

The simpler geometric forms are introduced and so illustrated that clear conceptions are formed, and the principles thus devel oped are then applied in many practical problems.

The classification and plan of presentation is the same as that of Part 1, including statements which require original and independent thinking on the part of the pupils, and including also the miscellaneous lessons which give constant review and are far more beneficial to the pupils than examples all classified and labeled.

While this book contains much new matter, the author has drawn largely from his Graded Lessons in Arithmetic, a series which has been so favorably received, consisting of a separate book for each school year.
