After the manner of the last examples, the pupil should be taught to perform the following. Should he hesitate in any instance, as, for example, in adding 8 to 88, just say to him, 8 and 8 are 16, and he will soon see that 88 and 8 are 96, there being a 6 in both cases. By this means, if he can add any two numbers together, both under 10, he may be taught to add any number smaller than 10 to any number larger than 10.

* The following may be added by calling each finger a figure. Bhould be exercised, lest the learner give the total amount from the book, without making the individual additions for himself.

Q. How many are 20 and 30? What do you ca.: the 50 ? A. Amount. * It is thought advisable, whenever the operation of the first sum in any rule is given, to direct the pupil, after a careful attention to the questions in the book, to copy the sum on his slate, and from this to answor the questions respecting the work, without looking on the book at recitation.

Operation by Siate illustrated. 1. A man bought a cart for 25 dollars, a yoke of oxen for 69 dollars, and a plough for 7 dollars. What did he give for the whole? OPERATION.

Q. In writing this example down, 25 dollars. why do you place the 7 (units) unOxen, 69 dollars.

der the 9 (units)? why not place it

under the 6 (tens)? Plough, un dollars.

A. Because, if I should, the 7 units

would become 7 tens, or 70; that is, Amount, 101 dollars.

the 7 dollarswould become 70 dollars. Q. How do you obtain the 1 in the ins... . i sar 7 (units; ana 9 (urts) are 16 (units), and

Camas

LA sats for gre for 13. In

(units) are 21 (units), or 2 tens and 1 unit, writing the 1 in the units' place.

Q. What do you do with the 2 tens ?
A. I carry or add them to the 6 (tens), in the next higher
place, where all the tens belong:

Q. What is this adding of the 2 tens called ?
A. Carrying one for every ten.
Q. How do you proceed to get the 10 in the Ans. ?

A. The 2 (tens) to carry, and 6 (tens) make 8 (tens), and the
2 (tens) over the 6 (tens) are 10 (tens).
From these illustrations we derive the following

RULE.
Q. How do you write the numbers down?

A. Units under units, tens under tens, &c. with a line underneath.

Q. At which land do you begin to add ?
Ă. The right.
Q. If the amount of any coluinn be 9, or less, how do you proceed?
A. Set it down.
Q. If it be more than 9, what do you do?

A. I set down the right-hand figure, and carry the left-hand figure, or figures, to the next column.

Q. Which figure would you write down, and which carry, in 18, 10, 13, 36, 81, 94, 108, 58, 67, 125 ?

Q. What do you do with the amount of the last column ?
A. I set the whole of it down..
PROOF. Q. How do you prove the operation ?

A. Begin at the top, and add the figures downward, in the same manner as they were added upwards.

R. What must this amount be like?
A. The first amount.
