Excerpt from Sweet's Modern Business Arithmetic: A Treatise on Modern and Practical Methods of Arithmetical Calculations for the Use of Business and Commercial Colleges, Business Universities, Commercial High School, Technical Schools and Commercial Departments in Other Educational Institutions

After thirty years experience as a teacher of mathematics, the author feels that he is able to present the subject of commercial arithmetic to students and instructors in a manner which is not only severely practical and up to date, but attractive and intensely interesting.

No claims are made in regard to the discovery of new facts in the science of arithmetic. While the manner of presenting the topics to the class, the, method of illustration, exemplification, and practice have been used by the author for many years, no published work has ever been issued handling the science in this extremely practical manner.

Particular attention is called to the different parts into which the work is divided. "Class Work," "Homework," "Test," and "Final Examinations," each has its place in the development of every topic. The topics are made largely independent of one another, so that students entering school at different times may take up the work together. This will be found a most excellent feature in business college work. A system of credits is also suggested which will spur the student to do his best at all times.
