"Business men generally agree in the statment that, after leaving school, they were obliged to learn, and in many cases to devise for themselves, methods of computation adapted to their use in business. The universality of this experience led the Author of this Series of Arithmetics to a careful and protracted investigation into the philosophy of the development of the mathematical powers of the mind, and to a critical examination into the present methods of teaching Arithmetic." ------- from the Preface.
