TIE NEW ARIIHArIics.e-We would ask
every teacher and ndsehool-oficer shsthas not
already examined QuAcKENBos's ARIrHAE-
TICS 10 do So without delay, for. we are salts
fed that they possess many features of
superior merit - Not TO mention their
logical and admirably inductiye, Develop
ment of the subject, their comprehensive
and practical treatmea Of the branches Of
Commercial Arithmetic -Interest, Profit
and Loss, Stocks, Making out Bills, Ac-
counts Of Sales etcs-Tls worthy Of all
prsise. Their examples are more numerous
and varied than those of any other text
books q like grade. Their chief advantage,
however seems to us 10 lie in their recogni-
ton Of recent financial changes. They give
prices and rates Of duties as they now are;
they recognize the differences between gold
and currency they describe the several
classes of United States Securities, and
show how to find the comparative results Of
investments In them. In fact, they are up
TO the times, and are just what is needed by
progressive schools. Brooklyn and. Jersey
City, among other important places have
adopted them for exclusive use in their
Common Schools, aud our best Normal and
Private institutions are introducing them.
The Publishers D.sAppletou d Co., Of New

might do well with books like these. II o..
