Excerpt from Graded Lessons in Arithmetic: Grade III 1. These lessons have been prepared in the belief that it is a mistake to assume that one topic is to be finished before another is begun. The elements of many topics are here given in lower grades in explanations, illustrations, and examples easily understood by the younger pupils; and then the work in each topic is made more and more difficult through the various grades until it is finished. These examples have stood the test of the school-room, and in no case have they been found too difficult. 2. The arrangement of the topics is such that pupils in passing into a new grade find but few new topics, and many pupils are prepared for promotion from grade to grade at various times during the year, and are not obliged to wait for the annual promotions. 3. Such practical subjects as Percentage and Interest are introduced in the lower grades, where many pupils are found who are obliged to leave school before they reach the more advanced grades. 4. Clear conceptions of geometric forms and mensuration are introduced at an early period, that principles thus developed may be applied to many practical problems.
