This textbook is an illustrated table book rather than an elementary arithmetic book. Its object is to suggest things for pupils to do. While it is impossible in a work so small to do more than give suggestions, the teacher will find little difficulty in supplying the deficiency by the use of the blackboard. Although there is nothing in the book which the children ought to be required to commit to memory as a set task, yet each step should be thoroughly mastered by means of oral and written exercises before proceeding to the next.
