in solving the problem, that is, in de.
terming what to do or what mathem-
atical tools to employ. This is a study
of the given conditions, and has no
necessary relation TO arithmetic which
is merely the science OF Numbers and
the art of computing.
This presentation, like all of MIR.
Gillan's work, was illustrated nd ex.
emplified by practical application in Il
class exercise with the teachers. He
gave them some problems without
figures, which aroused great interest
They were problems in which the num-
bers were omitted and thus the solu
tion depended on correct insight and
reasoning on the conditions given.
Not little amusement was created nv
few "gumption Problems to catch
the unwary, such as these: "If tell
You how much my horse weighs when
standing on four feet how can you tell
how much he will weigh when stand
ing on three feet?" If one third of a
ceiling is painted blue, and half the
remaining surface, led, how can 1 find
the area of the ceiling if l know the
length, height and width of the
room?'
In the afternoon the lesson impress
ed the value of drill on the forty-five
combinations" and an improved and
greatly simplitied method of finding
the least common multiple of several
numbers was presented.
Miss Mary Gaskins rendered a vocal
solo, Miss Phoebe Curry officiating at
the piano.

MUMMERS MAY
HOLD PARADE

Danville will have mummcr's par.
put forth by the Washington Fire com
pany TO that end bring such results rs
are anticipated. At u meeting Satur.
day night a committee was appointed
consisting Of Seth Lormer Wesley
Hollobaugh aud Thomas Roney to con.
fer with parties down town and see
what kind of response may be met
with.
The Washington Fire company has
always shown great interest in the
New Years parade, and it is claimed
that the idea of such demonstration
here originated with that company
Naturally, therefore, the members are
not willing that the New Years par.
ade, which has been feature since
1904, should fail now for want OF some
one to take the initiative.
The committee will wait upon bust
ness people and persons of influence in
different parts of town and determine
just what measure of support can be
relied upon. If the response is at all
encouraging meeting will be called
at once and an organization effected.
If the same amount of enthusiasm is
found elsewhere as exists among the
Washes" there is no question but
that the movement will be a success.
1t is claimed that the month inter
vening will afford an abundance of
time to up first class mummers'

rushed to her aid. The injured woman
was assisted into the house, when il
was found that the ball of a Flobert rife
"a 22-short-had pierced the musole
Oh her left arm about midway be-
tween the elbow and shoulder. For.
tnhately the force of the bullet had
been pretty well spent and it did not
pierce the flesh to any considerable
depth. The bail did not lodge in the
wound but was found inside the wo.
man s waist when this was removed
Dr. Patton was called, who dressed
the wound. which in itself is not re-
garded as serious. The fright and the
shock. however, were not without
effect and Mrs. Haughy was rendered
quite i'll for awhile.

OTREE ADDRESSES
ARITHMETIcAL OPERATION

After intermission DR.. Gillian resum.
ed the subject of arithmetic. He had
previously shown how three of the
four kinds of mental action used in
arithmetic came into play in solving
problems, namely, memorizing, COM
putting and visualizing. He next took
up reasoning as the fourth form of
mnetal activity exercised in arithme-
tic, and showed that in arithmetic
strictly defined reasoning is almost
wholly absent. The accountant is the
most successful who has attained such
automatic skill that he works without
thinking; he approaches the accuracy
and reliability of the calculating mach
inc or comptograph, which is too stupid
to make a blunder.
But in arithmetic as applied in pIac-
tical affairs the reason is exercised.
not in performing opeIations--they
should be perfectly northumberland

NARROW ESCAPE

Chief of Police Mincemoyer took
the bullet in charge. 1t is a large and
Notwithstanding missile. Nearly
spent as it was, had it struck the wo-
man in vital part it would no doubt
have been attended with fatal conse-
quences. Had Mrs. Haugheys arm not
been raised thus intercepting the buI.
let 1t would no doubt have struck her
head.
Thus far all efforts have failed to
discover who fired the shot 1t is said
that the bullet came from a noItherly
direction and that it came very near
striking a man walking at the rear of
Mill street, who heard the ball whizz
by his head.
The penalty for using "A Flobert rifle
in the borough is five dollars, the same
as for discharginG any other kind of
fire arm. The result of yesterdays
shooting Will no doubt be that the
ordinance i'll this respect will here
after be rigidly enforced.

READING FOR CULTURE

III NoOuluA "pulu uON uuutItstA-
mate the value of enlightenment along
the lines OF economic and political de-
velopment Read the things that
transpire in life. Industry and com
meIcial enterprises have their part,
but they are not all of life. The Am
erican people need heart enlargement
and soul enlargement-need to Guilt
vate a taste for the beautiful in art
and literature.
DR.. Woodruff stated with regret
that he too frequently finds lack of
general Information among students
at college. No person should fail to
read along the line of current events.
As teachers, especially, we need to
understand the economic and the soc.
ial conditions and 70 obtain the right
outlook into the things of life.
Each man has natural horizon be-
yond which he can not see; he also
has a mental horizon beyond which he
may see, if he lifts himself up broad
ening his mind by reading and study.
The essence of culture, however,
can be obtained by other means than
reading. Travel, the viewing of the
plains, the mountains and the cities
with their imposing architecture-all
these expand and enlarge the soul. We
acquire culture by associating with
men and women of noble character,
1t is not so essential that we come in
contact with persons Of large mental
/ calibre as with persons of large souls
! who are pure and holy.
| Read to enlarge your mental hori-
zon. Viewed from certain stand

welded to the idols of that den. We

If we would read for culture We

STOCKS |RREGULAR|W WHEAT ADVANCED
Late Market Was Regarded as Max.
ing Encouraging Show Of Resist
ance to Realizing.

New York, Sept 22.-The stock
market opened with show OF dis
appointment over the unresponsive-
ness outside demand to developments
considered favorable yesterday. Min
nesota railroad law decision passed
out OF the field of active influences
during the day, but later the action
OF the stock market was regarded as
making encouraging resistance to the
force of the realizing movement. Some
confusion of reports regarding the
action of the London bankers towards
the cotton bill of lading dispute was
a factor in the late irregularity.
The closing was heavy, with only
narrow price changes. Revised con-
sideration Of the masters report to
the federal circuit court holding tie
Minnesota railroad law unconstltli-
tional detracted somewhat from its
Importance as bearing on the main
problem of federal control of railroad
rates. The relief offered the rail.
roads under the state laws, allowing
for the affirmation of the master S
decision remained.
The stocks of even those railroads
suffered in the reactionary movement
of the market The professional
operators who were responsible for
yesterdays rise were little inclined
to maintain their responsibility with
out the backing of buying demand
from sources more remote from brok-
ers' offices. They complained that
there was supply of stocks for sale
| which seemed to indicate an opinion
| positively unfavorable to the a1vanc'
| ing tendency of prices.
