Prof. Bean lifts ,xTol much regard
for the correctness o'f the statements-
he makes in  reference  \o  Harper's
Second Book in .Arithmetic,   Ho is   -
prejudiced against the bpok and he
allows his prejudice ft?get the better".
of his roason, or else ho wilfully mi*---'
represents.   In one of his articles he   .
says:   "Three days of grace is used',
in Present Worth and True Discount,
while it is   omitted   in   Bank  Dis'--
count."   Now tho distinguished Faiv
well educator is either densely igno- .
rant of Present Worth, True Discount
and Bank Discount or else he states*,
a deliberate falsehood ; no such teach- -
ing as this can be foifnd in Harper's
Arithmetics*.   Those who may ha\'e
been mislead by the learned profess'
or'rfstatements may detect hjy Ulun-ft.'

"time   draft"    deiined.     Evidently
Mr, Dean does not know the character of a  time   draft.     Persons  who
have had practical experience in this
'sort     of     business      know      that
j the following is a statement ofthe u.-;e
| of such a paper:      J
J    1— How lo mc.' a sight draft.    Mr
! A. of Detroit, owes Mr.   35.   of New
York £500 which he wishes to pay at
once.   He buys a ih-M't on New York
(or a Detroit draft, for that matter,
if d raits are at par.} of the form found
at thc top of page u(>2.   This draft of
course is sent direct to Mr. R, by.Mr.
A.   When 13. receives it he simply
cashes it at the bank.     The  co.-,t   of
this draft to 3Ir. A.   depends   upon
whether drafts are ar par, at  a   premium or at a discount.
