Frame is Scotland's champion dancer, John Mckenzie, Da- vid c. Mather, champion piper of Scotland, Walter Haigh, the young and talented Scottish violinist, Walter Grey, the eminent tenor Miss Florence Hay ward, the brilliant Scottish soprano, Miss Annette Grey, the distinguished Scottish contralto, James Booth. the we'll known musical conductor, of Glas- gow, and last, but not least, w.

Examples That Were Used In Egypi
$500 Years Ago..
Probably the oldest copy book for
home lessons in arithmetic was recent
ly unearthed in Egypt. The papyrus,
which was found In excellent cOndi-
ton, dates from the period about 100
B. C.-that is, about 100 years before
the time of Moses, or almost 5000
years ago. 1t proves that the Egyp-
tians had a thorough knowledge Of
elementary mathematics almost to the
extent of our own. The papyrus has
a long heading, Direction how to at
tain the knowledge Of all dark things"
etc. Numerous examples show that
their primo al operations with entire
units and fractions were made by
means of dition and multiplication.
Subtractions and divisions were not
known in their present form, but G. :
rect results ,ere obtained nevertheless.
Equations are also found In the pa
pyrus. Among the examples given is
this N Ten measures Of barley are
to be divided among ten persons in
such a manne that each subsequent
person receives one-eighth Of a meas
ure less than the one before him. An
other example given is: There are sew
en- men. each one has seven cats, each
cat has eaten seven mice, each mouse
has eaten sever grains of barley, each
grain of barley would, If cultivated,
have yielded seven measures Of barley.
How much barley has been lost in that
way?
The papyrus also contains calcula-
tons Of area, the calculation Of the
area of a circle and it's transformation
into a square. and finally calculations
of the cubic measurements Of pyra-

A good story comes from Atlanta,

1t SO happened that III of the pages

turned over to the care Of a nurse. AS
he proceeded down the main aisle of
the church in company with the other
youngsters. who in white satin suits
were doing the honors Of each respec-

mother seated in one Of the pews.
At this point the organist began
playing softly as the wedding party
passed to the altar. Then. above the
gentle strains Of music clear as a bird
could be heard the voice OF the afOre-
said small boy.
