Excerpt from Modern Commercial Arithmetic A course in business arithmetic should train the pupil to figure correctly, easily, and rapidly, and should fit him to solve the problems that arise in the ordinary course of business. To this end Modern Commercial Arithmetic gives a brief review of the fundamental operations, fractions and decimals, intro ducing short practical methods. The mechanical part of arith metic is illustrated and explained by diagrams, examples, operations, and notes. The intellectual part' is developed in the pupil's mind by mental problems, questions, and state ments. A student should solve a problem from his knowledge of the facts or conditions of the problem and the principles involved; therefore, rules and cases are superseded by develop ment exercises which will make him thoughtful and independent. In the business office problems do not come tabbed with article and rule, but the business man must first discover the principle that is involved and then by a process of reasoning determine the result. It has been the object of this work to present the problems as nearly as possible as they are presented in the business office. When the pupil changes from the school to the office he will find the change in the method of thought involved as slight as possible. The student in school has no time to waste and therefore this work contains no puzzles or catch problems. Subjects that do not arise in ordinary business transactions are omitted. The author's aim has been to present a work that would give the pupil such instruction as he needs, and to set it forth in the manner he will meet it in the business office. It is hoped and believed that an inspection and trial of the work will show that he has succeeded. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from New Commercial Arithmetic A commercial arithmetic should be comprehensive in its scope, but should contain no complicated or obsolete subjects. It should furnish abundant material for drills in modern business problems, and, by natural and progressive steps in the methods of developing the subjects presented, should cultivate in the student those qualities of accuracy, rapidity, and self-reliance that will be so valuable to him later.

Excerpt from Will's Commercial Arithmetic, Presenting the Best Usage in Modern Business Practice Explanation. TO discover the name Of each period in the given number and the figures which compose it, commence at the right and separate it into periods of three figures each, as follows: As the right hand period (219) is pointed Off, think Of its name (units); as the second period (496) is pointed off, think of its name (thousands); as the third period (728) is pointed Off, think Of its name (millions), and so continue until the left-hand period (26) is reached, which is thus found to be trillions.

Excerpt from The Packard Commercial Arithmetic The question as to whether a new Commercial Arithmetic was called for, is answered in the ready sale which has attended the publication of this volume. It does not necessarily argue that other arithmetics have failed to meet a large popular demand, or that those who use them are dissatisfied with them. It simply emphasizes the fact that what may suit one intelligent teacher will not, for that reason alone, suit another; and nothing could make this point clearer than to state, what is really true, that all the Commercial Arithmetics that have appeared during the past ten years have been prepared by active teachers, who required certain things in their own work not to be found in existing books. There are few, if any, text books that could not, in some respects, be changed to advantage by those who use them; and the main reason why there are not fifty text books where there is but one is a reason of economy, rather than of inability of teachers to prepare their own books, or even of entire satisfaction with the books in use. It is worthy of notice that, in the line of commercial text books particularly, there is a growing tendency to authorship on the part of wide awake teachers; so much so that there are to-day twenty treatises on book-keeping where there was one twenty years ago; and in the line of commercial mathematics, commercial law and practical grammar, one can safely calculate on a new book every six months. Nobody has a right to complain of this tendency. It should, in fact, give great satisfaction to all who are interested in practical education; for it not only speaks of the growing energy and intelligence of the teachers who have this education in charge, but especially of the appreciation of the public, through whose encouragement alone such worthy ambition can be gratified.
