A MATHEMATICAL PRODIGY.
Wonderful Feats Attributed to an
Indiana Man.

The claim is now made that Arthur
Griffith. the Indiana mathematical
prodigy. excels in his work Buxton, the
Englishman Griffith now has differ
ent methods of his own for addition, 10
for division and Ga for multiplication,
says a Richmond Undg dispatch TO the
New York Times He can take any
humber. it is said, between go and
1000 and raise it to the fifth power in
30 seconds without the use of either
pencil or paper.
Griffith can add mentally three col
qmns at a time, it is asserted. divide
any set of figures or multiply any set
of figures in from one to 40 seconds
and extract square and cube roots in
from 3 to Is seconds. He remembers
every problem that he works. The
hardest test which he has yet been Civ
On. so be claims. is to stand and see
freight train pass with 20 or 80 cars
and then tell the number of each car
IN their order and specify to what road
each belonged.
Besides being wonder in mathemat-
les. Griffith is fairly We'll educated in
the common school studies. He can
read. write and spell and can carry ON
an intelligent and interesting conversa-
ton. He knows the name and length
Of every railroad in the country. and
besides being about 10 per cent ahead
Of Buxton in the line of mathematics
he is at least 90 per cent ahead Of him
in other studies.

which lcadlng opponents Of the Pres

regarding the subject. The principal
addresses of the day were made by
Rev. DIR. John Dewitt and Rev. DR.

debate. DIR. Dewitt favored dismissal
declaring that though there might be
slight divergence Of opinion on the
confession. the church was united on
the word OF God.
Dr. Dickey took a decided stand
against dismissal He said aS the
question of revision was not before
the assembly. no eyiI could result from
further consideration of the commit

plea for declarative statement as
sorting the supremacy of Holy Scrip

that the system of the confession il
the same as Holy Scripture teaches.
and that infants are saved by Gods
electing grace. The discussion at

NEW INDIAN PROBLEM.
Teachers From Reservations to De
sent TO the Philippines.


That the Taft commission has decid-
cd upon comprehensive plans for inn
provement and education in the Philip
pines is indicated by the fact that re
quest has been addressed TO the educa-
tional division of the bureau of Indian
affairs for suggestions and the recon-
Inenda ton of competent instructors for
the natives, writes the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Press. The
request has raised the question wheth-
Dir the solution Of the Indian question
III the United States by education and
assimilation is to be adopted in the
Philippines.
Officers of the Indian office are dis
dussing every phase of the subject with
d view to giving intelligent assistance.
From the teachers and superintendent
Of the Indian reservations it is proba-
Tile that several competent employees
will be selected to 20 to the Philippines
and engage in the education of the saw
age and semisaYage people Of the archi
relago. 1t is probable. after sending a
few of the reservation teachers who
lave dealt with the lowest type of the
Indian to the Philippines for prelimina-
ny work, that more ambitious work will
tie attempted. If the policy decided up
ON by this government toward the Phil
iDpines viii permit and the future ap-
preparations of congress are sufficiently
liberal, something in the way of indus
trial education may be attempted in the
Philippines like in tire big Indian
schools of Pennsylvania. New Mexico
and Kansas. Skilled employees Of the
educational division of the bureau of
Indian affairs may be sent to the Phil
ippines in the summer with an idea of
investigating conditions there among
the island tribes and determining to
what extent the Indian system can be
