An Interesting Exhibition Given Yes
 terday In Room 12.

! An Interesting Exhibition Given Yes- terday In Room 12. MT. Henry A. Jones, the author of a work upon the subject of arithmetic, has been giy- ing few lessons in room 12, Skinner school, and yesterday afternoon Professor Sumner, Principal Bangs, Mrs. Attwater Barnes and others interested in the school were present to listen to the illustration by the pupils of the processes he advocates.
 He claims that much of labor in arithme- tic can be shortened and performed men tally, and many operations in complex and mixed numbers were solved by the pupils mentally and almost simultaneously, to the surprise and delight of the visitors
 Divisioa by mixed numbers without reduc- ing to improper fractions can be performed, and the principle is of universal application.
 process of finding the greatest common divisor and the instant multiplication of any two mixed numbers ending in one-half were especially noticeable.
 To have created so much interest in the subject ~nin the school in so short a time ar gues well for the instruction given, and the proficiency of the scholars was equally cred- itable. It was the opinion of those present that those principles should be taught in the lower rooms. While much has been done in improved methods of instruction in geogra- phy and grammar, there is no doubt room for improvement in this wise in so useful branch as arithmetic.
