THE BOYS WHO WERE DULL AT FIGURES
Dean Stanley has been telling a story of
his own boyhood and Gladstone: There is
a small school near Liverpool" he said, ''in
which Mr. Gladstone was brought up before
he went 10 Eton. A few years afterward
another little boy proceeded to that same
school-a little boy whose name | will not
mention, but who subsequently went, when
young man, to see its master, and in the
course Of conversation with the master he
said to him: There is one thing in which |
have not in the slightest degree improved
since Quilted your establishment, and that
is casting up figures We'll, the old master
replied, nobody could have been
more incapable than you We're
at school with your arithme-
| TIC but will tell you very curious
circumstance: Mr.. Gladstone, when he was
here, was just as bad at casting up figures as
you were and are; but you now see what he
has become. When it was that the right
honorable gentleman was enabled to master
his former incapacity and to become the
great arithmetician whom we all know he
Is, am not aware; but the change didtake
place, and | have found in it q striking ex'
ample and cheering encouragement tc
those who are duh in youth not TO de-
| spair. ."-IReading Eagle
