BROOKS'S NEW MENTAL ARITHMETIC. IFTEEN years ago the Publishers issued the first work written by Prof. Brooks; an unpretending little book called the "Normal Mental." That name is now a household name in tens of thousands of families, and is cherished from Maine to Oregon. Thousands of teachers with its aid have brought new life, increased devotion, and stronger work into their schools.

F

The "New Mental" is improved by a better grading, and a different grouping of problems, and fuller treatment of topics. Some of the solutions are simplified and the cases of analyses and principles of fractions are generalized and beautifully illustrated. Though much easier than the old, it has greater quickening and disciplining power.

This book will work well with any series, and it is particularly recommended for those schools having a series that is wanting in a book on this most important part of Arithmetic.

Including Primary, Elementary, Mental, and Written Arithmetics, Algebra and Geometry.
