Arithmetic 5000 Years Ago.


Probably the oldest book for home
lessons in arithmetic was recently I'M
earthed in Engypt. The papyrus,
which was in excellent condition,
dates from about 1900 B. C.-that is,
about 100 years before the time of
Moses, or almost $500 years ago. It
proves that the Egyptians had thor
ough knowledge of the elementary
mathematics almost to the extent of
our own. The papyrus has a long
heading, Direction How to Attain
the knowledge of All Dark Things"
etc. Numerous examples show that
their principal operations with entire
units and fractions were made by
means of addition and multiplication.
Subtraction and division were not
known in their present form, but cor
rect results were obtained, neverthe-
less. Equations were also found in
the paPyrus.-Chicago Times-Herald

The advantages offered here are
In many respects superior to those
OF any other school OF like char
acter open to our people. There
are separate courses In English,
normal, college, industrial, domes-
tic and agriculture work. In all OF
these departments of study II is

spiritual realm.
The additions TO the faculty for
the school year, beginning Sep

intermediate departments shall be
insisted upon, the college work

students will be required to parti-
cipatc In the work OF the shop and
the farm. The young ladies will
be required to participate in the
work in sewing, cooking and laun-
dry. The institute farm will be
put in operation at once and used
for the benefit OF the boarding
