Bryant and Stratton's Commercial Arithmetic: In Two Parts. Designed for the Counting Room, Commercial and Agricultural Colleges, Normal and High Schools, Academies and Universities
(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

First Book of Arithmetic: Uniting Oral and Written Exercises (Classic Reprint)
(This book presents the elements of arithmetic in a progre...)
This book presents the elements of arithmetic in a progressive three-year course. It is designed for pupils who have received some oral training in number, and have thus been prepared to use a book with advantage. The introductory oral course is fully presented in the authors Oral Lessons inN umber, Part One presents a progressive series of exercises in elementary processes with small numbers. It aims to secure accuracy and skill, and, to this end, it combines in a natural manner the inverse processes of addition and subtraction, and of multiplication and division. These progressive elementary lessons may easily be mastered by third-year pupils. Part Two is devoted to the elementary processes unth larger integral numbers and the written processes are more fully developed. The special aim is to secure accuracy and rapidity in fundamental processes. Great pains have been taken to adapt the exercises and problems to the capability of fourth-year pupils. But few definitions and principles are presented, and these, when practicable, are reached inductively. Part Three presents the more elementary processes with fractional numbers, common and decimal, and their more easy and practical applications. Fractions unth small terms are used, and these are treated in both oral and written exercises in a similar manner. The use of the greatest common divisor and the least common multiple, and other like formal methods, is avoided. A full and scientific treatment of fractions is reserved for the authors second book theN ew Complete A rithmetic. The entire book is carefully adapted to the capability of the pupils in the several grades for whom it is designed, and the fact is kept in mind that many of these pupils will not continue in school after the fifth school year. Cincinnati, 0., Mar 14, 1890. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books is

Emerson Elbridge White
Edit ProfileEducation
He was educated in the rural schools of Portage County, in Twinsburg Academy, and in Cleveland University, where he was a student instructor in mathematics.
Career
In 1856, after serving as principal of Mount Union Academy, of a Cleveland grammar school, and of the Cleveland Central High School, he was appointed superintendent of the public schools of Portsmouth, Ohio. Failing of reappointment in 1860, he opened in the city a classical school. He moved to Columbus in 1861 to assume the editorship and proprietorship of the Ohio Educational Monthly, which he continued until 1875. As editor of this journal, the official organ of the State Teachers' Association, he soon became the leading influence in Ohio schools. Becoming commissioner of common schools (1863 - 65), he established the state board of school examiners, provided by law financial support for county teachers' institutes, and codified for the first time the school laws of the state. From 1876 to 1883 he served as president of Purdue University, founded in 1874. Under his administration the work of the university was organized and the institution itself permanently established. Upon his resignation in 1883, he moved to Cincinnati to continue his authorship of school texts, and served three years (1886 - 89) as superintendent of the public schools of the city. He returned to his old home in Columbus in 1891. Possibly no man during these years was more widely in demand in all forms of public school activity than White, and none more regular in his attendance upon the annual meetings of state and national conventions. He was president of the Ohio State Teachers' Association (1863), of the National Association of School Superintendents (1866), of the National Education Association (1872), and of the National Council of Education (1884), which he had helped to found. He is said to have written the bill establishing a national department of education. A lifelong Presbyterian, he served many years as president of the board of trustees of Lane Seminary, was a frequent delegate to the Presbyterian general assembly, and a delegate to the Pan-Presbyterian Council in Edinburgh in 1877 and in Glasgow in 1896.
