Calling the tens dimes and the units
cents. If we take l of the dimes and
change IL to 10 cents, then we will have
10 coppers. from which we take coppers,
leaving coppers. We have then dimes,
and take out / dime, leaving dimes
the whole remainder being dimes and
coppers. or 80. This is the objective
method. and is thought most scientific.
The practical method supposes that from
the tens we take 1 ten. equal TO 10
units. which, added 10 the units, make
IS units: then units from l3 units leave
8 units: then instead Of actually taking
the l ten directly from the tens, we
add l ten to the ten in the subtrahend-
and take 2 tens from tens-leav-
ing tens and units, or SS.
Another explanation Of tho practical
method is that If We increase the minuend
and subtrahend by the same number the
remainder will be the same; and we say,
adding 10 units TO the units in the minu-
end. we get - units, and units from
10 units leave units; then adding ten
equal TO 10 units TO the l ten in the
subtrahend. we get 2 tens. which, taker
from tens. leave 3 tens. or whole re-
mainder, 49,
The objective or scientific method was
once used in the Richmond public schools
but was found so liable 10 mistakes thai
the practical method took its place.

The Method of subtraction.
.itor Of the Dispatch

TO the Editor OF the Dispatcn
A.. who is a schoo-teacher. contends
that the method of teaching subtraction
i'm all schools now is TODD away with
the adding Of ten OO) TO a term or the
minuend when II is less than the term OF
the subtrahend, and instead the pupil is
taught to take one from the next left
hand term OF the minuend and annex 1t
20 the last term or the first term. as l5-o5
five from thirteen, and one from four. y.
says no one has ever been able TO explain
why ten was used; hence the adoption OF
the rule OF borrowing from the next lett
hand term. b. contends that there is no
such rule, and that the pupils are sull
being taught the old way. They agree to
leave it with you 20 decide. and also eX-
plain why ten is used or was ever used

Youth is the springtime of life. There is delight

AUSTIN COLLEGE.
Protest Against Changing the
Name of This Institution.

To the Editor of The Post
Houston Texas, May 27.-The good
citizens of the State, especially those in
terested in her past history, will be sur
prised to learn that plan is on foot to
change the name Of Austin college at
Sherman to some other.
This college Is under the fostering care
of the Presbyterian synod of Texas, is a
chartered institution and was established
fifty years ago by the self-denylng labors
Of Rev. Daniel Baker. and other pioneer
fathers of that faith in Texas. These
worthy men In thus naming this college
after Stephen +. Austin showed their wis
dom and their loyalty to the memory Of
such leaders as Austin, and to the great
commonwealth which they thus estab-
lished.
From time to time valuable donations
have been made to this college, notably
the magnificent endowment of Dr. Donald
McGregor of Houston, who was for many
years president OF same. The handsome
Klam building. fronting on Main and
Preston streets, is an example Of this be-
quest.
Captain NJ G. Howe and Colonel Fred
Rice OF Houston also gave to the college
the greater part of the present site of its
grounds
The family of Stephen F. Austin placed
in the hands OF its trustees, many years
ago, valuable papers, being claims against
the government for money expended by
Austin during the three years his imprls
Onment In Mexico while he was acting as
the agent of Texas
The policy Of changing the name of
this college now would surely be an I'M
wise one, as 1t would be a blow struck
not only at tho memory of the patriot
father of Texas, but through him at all
the spirit of the thrilling day of the Re-
public and its tragic story.
Especially do the venerable Texas vet
Grams and the Daughters of the Republic
of Texas feel thlss injustice most keenly,
and memorial is being prepared which
will be presented to the board OF trustees
of the college praying them to retain the
old name.
We are glad to see that the college Is
in prosperous condition, same S10,O 900
having been subscribed to 1t during the
past eighteen months. We hope the action
of the board OF trustees on the 9Th of
June, which Is to mark the decision as
to name, will see that the old historic one
is preserved, and that under the efficient
management of DR.. Sampson it may long
remain an honor to the State and to the
patriot whose name it bears. u.

In the issue OF the outlook Of May 90
