Robinson's Progressive Practical Arithmetic: Containing the Theory of Numbers, in Connection with Concise Analytic and Synthetic Methods of Solutions, and Designed as a Complete Text-Book on This Science, for Common Schools and AcademiesExcerpt from Robinson's Progressive Practical Arithmetic: Containing the Theory of Numbers, in Connection With Concise Analytic and Synthetic Methods of Solutions, and Designed as a Complete Text-Book on This Science, for Common Schools and Academies The author believes that both teacher and pupil should have the privilege, as well as the benefit, of performing at least a part of the thinking and the labor necessary to the study of Arithmetic; hence the present work has not been encumbered with the multiplicity of notes, suggestions, and superfluous operations so common to most Practical Arithmetics of the present day, and which prevent the cultivation of that self-reliance, that clearness of thought, and that vigor of intellect, which always characterize the truly educated mind.
