Backward Students and lncorrigibIes
In Technical School Taught
With Sport Statistics.

Baseball batting averages and other
sporting statistics are being used with
great success with backward students
and incorriglbles in the Newton
Technical high school.
One of the most difficult things in
the classes for backward boys has
been to gain their interest and give
them a grasp on mathematics. The
new scheme, by stimulating interest,
has proved Of the greatest assistance.
I'VE took advantage of the spring
training trips of the various teams"
says a report from the head of the
mathematics department, ito use bat
ting averages, distances, numbers of
players, etc, as foundations for our
mathematical exercises. The football
season and the winter indoor meets
also will give us an opportunity to
add the athletic flavor to our exer.
cises.
I'VE find the boys interested in
mathematics as never before"

clean, fresh odor of lilacs, stirred the
draperies of the archway which led
into the conservatory and rustled the

eyes rested on a young woman who

Avis Lawsuit 10 Aired in Justice Court
Other News OF the Mill
Town.

The law suit brought by Mike Avis
against Constable Hartley Craig for
alleged non-payment OF money owing
to the former was tried before Justice
OF the Peace Riedel yesterday after
noon and resulted in a dismissal of
the case n much amusement to
those implicated and the bystanders.
The case proved to be a comedy
from start to finish. neither side be-
Ing able to prove scarcely anything.
Avis. who was formerly a clothier in
Bellaire. had a small stock OF clothes
remaining which he wished to sell,
and made an agreement with Craig to
dispose OF them alta commission, no
writing OF any kind being made to
SHOW h agreement. Craig sold the
clothing to parties about the town,
turning over sums OF money to Avis at
various times. The end of the deal
was that a large number OF people
received suits for almost nothing. and
nobody knew who had been cheated.
as no accounts were kept. After a
wordy argument on both sides. the
squire dismissed the case, and ad.
vised the men TO use business methods
in the future. Avis. who can under.
stand but little English. thinks he
has come out on the small end of the
deal and will appeal the case to a
higher court.
