guided instructor gave her pupils
the task of subtracting 629 from
$50, 7S8, 889 until nothing remain
ed, as home lesson. On the
way from school the children re-

was speedily turned to sorrow.
After working for hours without
any perceptible diminution of
the figures the youngsters gave

small remainder. Some indig-

children for an evenings exer-

than a year and nine months to
accomplish.-Ex.

of at least 5000 per ton. This
