 X -The Norwich Bulletins Tuesday re- port of the Niantic school institute says l "In mensuration, during the fourth hour, Mr.. Desper, principal of the schools in Stafford Springs, had many ingenious methods to present.. He advocated having pupils measure the distance around and also across a tub, pail, etc., thus determin- I ing the relation between circumference and diameter, subsequently applying the knowl- | such relation. The various formula~ for surface and volume measurement were H. lustrated by such simple means as paper and card board cut in various forms, and this so-called difficult subject was shown to be difficult only in imagination. As an example, the volume of a cone was demon strated to be one-third the volume of a cylinder by making from stiff paper both I figures, and proving that the cylinder re- quired three times as much sawdust to fill it as was required to fill the cone. A fea- ture of MT. Desper's lessons which has simplified the labor of those pupils taking notes was the we'll arranged synopsis of each lesson, which was conspicuously placed upon the blackboard"
