JUST WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.
You have been looking for a simple elementary arithmetic that would be a help to you in teaching numbers to your boy or girl. If the proper course is taken, the examples that are given to the child to study in arithmetic will also teach him other important facts and truths. Facts about astronomy, facts about botany, facts about the great and the small affairs of every-day life, may be put together in such an interesting way that the child may become fascinated in studying the examples in figures that may be presented in connection with them. Of all the attempts to prepare arithmetics along this line, we have not seen anything equal to “The Mental Arithmetic for the Home and School,” prepared by Prof. E. A. Sutherland, and recently issued from the Review and Herald press. The book really makes the study of arithmetic fascinating to a child, and if you have a boy or a girl that is just beginning to read, get one of these books and place it in his hands, giving him a little attention and direction, and see how rapidly and intelligently he will take it up. The book may be ordered of any tract society, of the Review and Herald Publishing Co., Battle Creek, Mich., or of the Pacific Press Pub. Co., Oakland, Cal.
