Mental Arithmetic.

A most valuable address was on the sGb-
ject of the practical value of the study of
mental arithmetic by Mr.. A. S. Downing,
supervisor teachers institutes and training
classes, state department Of public in
struction. Albany, N. Y. The only practical
value of the study of mental arithmetic,
said Mr. Do wing. is not to be gauged SIM
ply by the utilitarian standard.
Education, continued Mr.. Downing, has
three principal aims, to make the fndivid-
uai more Intelligent, to train the pupil in
order that he may be more sef-controlling
and to give individual culture and dignity.
This involves the giving to the individual
a conception of his power as being in a
small way directly connected with the in
finite personality of the Divine Creator.
Is there any practical value in the study
of mental arithmetic from this standpoint?
asked the speaker. His answer was in the
affirmative. knowledge becomes pleasur-
able and delightful to the child only as the
child becomes conscious of the requirement
of power over the study. Mental arith-
metic is practical because IL gives that
power which comes only from well-directed
concentration. The child begins the study
in his early years and is grown into the
habit CT giving individual attention TO some
simple problem. As the problems increase
in difficulty of solution the teacher can
with pleasure and pride observe the boy
mind expand.
Proceeding IN his argument in favor of
mental arithmetic, he said its study en-
abies the boy or girl taken out of school
before entering tho high school to meet the
of their iiu.- and clearer judgment as to
the proper course to pursue.
Value of Geometry.

menting on the paper, said he feared the
views put forth by 1t tended toward ag
Mysticism, and IL that was the case he
thought 1t was the subject of criticism.

in the material universe. Only in mathe-
n.atics. the science of numbers, can we
find anything that may be properly re-
garded as constant.
Passing to the consideration of geometry

some things that may be regarded as con-
stants. Especially is this true of the
axioms. The propositions in geometry de-
rived from these truths may be also re-

Processes of DEVELOPMENT,


The child repeats somewhat the pro-
cesses of development which are seen in
the growth OF consciousness in savage
race. OF all rational possessions. the con-
science is the least innate. 1t Is the crown
ing of a higher life. The morality of the
child, as of the savage, is a customary
morality. Many people believe that re-
ligious trs ming is the first Importance in
the develc Dment of child's conscience.
In a general way the speaker agreed with
this view of the case, but the effect of re-
iigion on the conscience of the child. he
thought, depended upon the child's concep-
ton of religion. If the child's religion is
an unseen world it is on the same plane
of the taboo" of the savage, and is far
below the plane Of conscience.
The voice of conscience is not heard by
all men and some " no have never heard it,
the speaker said, are very good citizens in
their lives, but they are such citizens, be-
cause they practice an initiative morality
and they are morally above the savage,
Lot because of any higher light from with
in, but because the morality Of the people
surrounding them is above that of the
tribe of the savage.

ly one and was concluded amid the ap-
piause of the audience.

General Discussion.
The discussion of the paper was begun by
Prof. H. E. Krotz, superintendent of pub
lie schools of Sioux City, Iowa. He refer
red to the danger of wrong conceptions be-
ing formed by the child in the learning of
religious truths, through a failure on the
part of the teacher to develop in the child
clear conception of the true nature of
conscience, rather than Installing in the
child's mind morality of imitation. 1t

superintendent Brooks Theme.

THE Constants in Mathematics was the
subject of a ten-minute speech by Super
intendent Edward Brooks of the PhiladeI-
phia public schools. The beginnings of
mathematical science, said Mr. Brooks, lay
in the conception of numbers He denied
the proposition advanced by some foreign
mathematician that there are physical
constants, saying there are no such things

Therefore he had had an extensive corre-
spondence with mathematical specialists
concerning the question. The replies had
presented various views upholding both
sides of the question. Yet Mr.. Hall had
not been able to obtain a satisfactory So
luton. Therefore he advised the teachers
is they would be free from the charge OF
being ignorant disputants they would les
the question remain unanswered.

road travelled by a child for the same pur-
pose. The savage, he said, is extremely
religious in the sense of being moved by a
feeling of nearness to the next world, being
surrounded by spirits. But this religion
he said, has no relation with what moral
man would consider the true morality.

Harmony is our postoffice, only one mile
away from colony site. Mails go hence three
times week Tuesdays, Thursdays and
SATURDAYS. A colony would soon have daily
mail.
Those sending cash to apply on member
ship or invest otherwise, should send same by
p. o. money order on Chehalis, Wash, as
Newaukum is not a money order office. Those
sending drafts consult bank for best exchange
for Chehalis Send all remittances direct to
colony secretary.
See our advertisements in another place
and do all you can to aid us in securing ex-
changes for machinery, stock or cesh. Dairy
apparatus, incubator, etc, would be very help
full. Flour mill machinery, saw mill machin-
cry, single mill, are especially desirable.
We would land such at Toledo, the present
head of navigation on Cowlitz river. We
would no doubt leave the saw mill at that
place and drive logs to it down river, as well
as single bolts.
Correspondence begins to assume more
business tone, so now it may be in order to
tell intended corners to Harmony, to come
direct to Newaukum, where the writer re-
sides within a stones throw of the depot |
will give directions then how to go to Har-
mony. Those shipping to Harmony should,
for the present, ship to Chehalis. Tools,
laundry machinery, mill machinery, ETC.,
will be needed soon and those desiring to do
nate such on membership should notify the
colony secretary giving list and value and re-
ceive instructions.
Chehalis witnessed show last Tuesday
the like of which is seldom seen in this city.
A drove of $50 red crested bronze turkeys
was driven through the streets. The attrac-
ton was equal to the parade of Forepaugh' S big
circus. The turkeys were the property OF
Robert Short of Silver Creek and the Tce
Brothers OF this city. These gentlemen have
purchased SS3 turkeys in the vicinity of Har-
mony. Messy Rock and Silver Creek. The
price paid was cents live weight. They
dress them and ship them to a Seattle firm
where they will receive IA cents per pound.
The remaining 500 are to be brought in al
ready dressed. The whole lot will bring
from $500 to $1,000.
This clipping was taken from the Peoples
Advocate, of Chehalis. 1t shows the import
ance of the turkey and poultry industry at

comment, except that the price, 9 cents per

Trade Unionists on the Move.

We have this week received a contribution
of so from the Western Labor Union No. 5
of Butte, Montana, to apply on the donkey
engine fund. This is one of the most i'm
portant announcements that we have had the
pleasure and good fortune to make since the
colony was started. The 3 G G. is an organi-
cation whose purpose is to do away with the
necessity of the militant labor unions and
supplant them with one grand comprehen-
sive fraternal union organized to furnish
work instead of to beg for it. We have al
ways been confident that our trades union
comrades would fraternize with us and thus
make the transition from the faith field of
competition to the peaceful plane of frater-
nal cooperation easy and certain. Labor

far as the writer knows, to take financial
interest in the B c. ''Homes for the home
