Excerpt from High School Algebra Chapter X., with which the pupil would begin the second year's work, contains a thorough review of the simple rules. Here the more complicated processes are dealt with. The graphical work is introduced naturally in illustrating the negative quantity and in the solution of equations. Only graphs which can be drawn with the ruler and compasses are included in the book. More attention is given to methods of inspection in the extraction of roots. The long process for cube root is eliminated, as cube root is not now required in arithmetic. The work on ratio and proportion is presented in as simple a form as possible, and is intended only as an introduction to the senior work in this subject. The geometrical illustrations which are given should make it more interesting. The division method of finding highest common factor has been discarded, as it is usually performed mechanically and not understood by pupils. The elimination method which is used will be found easy to apply with expressions which are not too complicated. Finding the highest common factor of expressions of the fourth or higher degrees is of little algebraic value, and few examples of such problems will be found in the book.
