Excerpt from Industrial Arithmetic: For Girls' Trade SchoolsThe makers of this Trade School Arithmetic assume that the pupils who use the book already have a work ing knowledge of all the necessary arithmetical proc esses. The emphasis, therefore, is laid upon the con tent of the problem, upon the meaning of the result obtained - its bearing upon the trade work or upon the subject under discussion. Hence only actual or live problems are presented, and a live interest in them may reasonably be expected.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
