Arithmetic Made Easy.

The class in business arithmetic in one of the New York evening schools is made up wholly of men who wield the pickax and push the shovel during the day. These men are ambitious to improve their minds, and the fact that they give up their evenings to study shows that they appreciate the value of trained mind But they are pa- thetically stupid in some things.
 "On the first evening" said the teacher. T asked the class: How much is six times two?' There was no apparent desire to shirk the question, but no amount of head scratching or knitting of brows could bring forth an answer
 "T'H put the question in another way, said I. Suppose your boss is paying you at the rate of two dollars a day, how much do you get at the end of weeks work?"
