When the business men of town fail
to advertise, they diminish the impor.
lance and trade of the place, and per
nit more enterprising localities to take
the latter from them. Although done
for individual interests, advertisers
should be looked upon by the citizens
of town where they reside as public
benefactors, and should be encouraged
accordingly. The merchant who adj
vertises very extensively is worth more
to town than forty who never show

Tests of Good Work in Arithmetic


Correctness, quickness, and neatness
are three essentials of good work in arith-
metic.
Results must be accurate, or they are
worthless. Arithmetic is practical study,
and our boys and girls must be SC
trained that they shall be sure of their re-
suits, when arithmetic has become part
of their business life.
Rapidly ranks next to accuracy.
Promptness is business virtue, and SC
the boy who has ambition to become q
business man must be prompt in securing
correct results.
Successful business is always system
attic, and all business work must be neat.
Hence no careless, slovenly work should
ever be tolerated on states or blackboard
or in notebooks.
These three things are the tests Of good
arithmetic; and they should be employed
as sort of straight edge" to every reel
tation in this study.

his character, and will get its effectiveness
from it.
