 The Elementary Arithmetic by Kirkland and Scott I can 

 heartily recommend to our teachers. As a iireparntory .Arith- 

 metic 1 have not seen its equal. The young pui>il, ty the arrange- 

 ment of the principles presented and the exercises laifl down, is 

 led almost unconsciously to the great field of the unknown, by a 

 step, that makes hio earlier arithmetical studies a pleasure and a 

 profit 



A. H. McKAY, Principal ol Pictou Academy and Public Schools 

 I have examined your Elementary Arithmetic on the unitary 

 lystem bv Kirkland and Scott, and have no hesitation in saying 

 that I consider it the best Elementary Arithmetic which 1 have 

 >et seen. It is achnirablv adapted to the requirements of grades 

 lit, 2nd and 3rd of our schools, aa it oCTers, in addition to om- 

 present text-book, a copious and well selected assortrnt-nt of ex- 

 ercises, a good arrangement and conciseness in definition and 

 explanation. 



W. E. 8PRAGT7E, Head Master, Model and Public Schoola, 

 Cobourg. 

 Since failures in Arithmetic are mainly due to a want of 

 power in iudei>*-Bdent analysis— to a lack of knowledge of the 

 unitary method and of skill in its application- this volume which 

 discusses the yrobleiUB on iiutependeitt methods v,-il\ be cordially 

 welcomed by teachers. Asa discipline of the mind in tea hing 

 the pupil to thi}iK- and reason, Aritlimetic is pre-eminent if ta tight 

 by logical methods ; and this work places it in the power of the 

 younger classes to be benefitted by such methods. A very praise- 

 worthy feature of the book is tbe large number of examples and 

 problems peculiar to so email a work. 



JAMES DUNCAN, Principal Essex Model and Windsor Central 



School. 

 After a thorough perusal of the Elementary Arithmetic by 

 Kirkland & Scott, I have no hesitation in saying that it is 

 better .idaiitfd to the schools of this country than any similar 

 book that has come within the range of my twenty-seven years 

 experience. The arrangement is natural and comprehensive. 

 The questions are in clear, terse, attractive language. 



W. B. REDDELL, B.A.. LL.B., Ac, Math. Master Ottawa 

 Normal School. 



I consider it well adapted for the pm-pose for which it is in- 

 cended. 



JOHN DEARNESS, Public School Inspector, East Middlesex. 

 I have examined this book with increasing pleasure and cun 

 speak of it in almost unqualified recommendation. It is, in my 

 ooinion the bast aJemc'^t&ry Arithmetio I have examined.
