commission could not find a single tene-
ment block occupied by Americans Of
native parentage. Those apologies for
human hab.tations are occupied by the
immigrant and his children. They are
not there because they prefer it, but be-
cause sheer necessity forces them to be
there. With no place to play except in
a sum alley, it must be refreshing to the
children to go to school, where Tor at
least part of the day he may live amid
decent surroundings and have a good
place to play during recess.
Sometimes teachers have found the
children of immigrants eager to play, but
very reluctant to wash. One teacher en-
countering this disposition told the boys
that they could play in the gymnasium
on condition that they first used Its shower
baths. The desire to play oVerbalanced
the dissemination to wash. and clean
lot of boys was the result. In one Of
the New York schools there was a boy
who would frequently jump out of his
seat. make funny gestures and go through
other puZZl!ng performances The teacher
tried to break him of his habit. but with
out success. Later the mother told her
the boy was crazy for gymnastic eXer-
cses.
The problem of the working bog is one
of the hardest with which those who
would educate the child of the immigrant
have to contend. Thousands of these
boys come to America when they are too
old to enter the primary grades. If he
does try to enter those grades he is so
big that he is laughed at and drops out
rather than continue to be the butt of the
children's laughter. So he gets no edu-
cation. The same is largely true of the
boys born here but forced to work as soon
as they are old enough
The Investigations that have been made
by various agencies tend to show that
there is a markedly greater tendency to
crime among the children of foreign
parentage than among those of native
parentage The experience of the secre-
tary of the Playground Association of
Maiden, Mass, perhaps explains why this
is so. He found that as soon as the play
ground was opened and the boys of
foreign parentage brought out of the al
leys and given healthy amusements, the
number of petty crimes committed by
them fell off fully 80 per cent.

What Good Does Mathematics

What good does mathematics do

question put to the teachers Of this
subject in the private high schools
OF the United States by a commission
whose report has just been printed
for free distribution by the United
States bureau or education.
To this question the mathematics
teachers Of the country responded to
the last member:

And what do you mean by mental
discipline % asked the commission.

received as follows:

which, very possibly in the present
parliament, will bowl it home. In
greeting Sylvia Pankhurst tonight
Fargo encounters one of the worlds
most notable women.
Anna Held, the far famed actress
who is making a special ocean to
ocean tour in f. z~iegfeld, jr.'s elab-
crate musical entertainment, Miss
Innocence, is to be seen at the Fargo
operahouse on Wednesday evening.
The celebrated coincidence has not
appeared here in seven years and the
engagement is being looked forward TO
with keen interest. Miss Innocence is
a real musical comedy treat. Harry
B. Smith, contributed the book and
lyrics of the piece, while Ludwig Eng
lander and others composed the tune
full score. 1t is staged by Julian
Mitchell. The plot is not divulged, but
in the play, according to all
ments, there is an endless number Of
up-to-date novelties and startling
features. The work is in two acts and
eight big scenes, the first of which is
a girls seminary, located on the Isle
or Innocence, the second a railway
train running betW cen Marseilles and
Paris, the third an exact reproduction
Of the famous Abbaye restaurant in
Paris, showing the Moulin Rouge by
night in the distance. This scene,
which is one of the important features
of the production, is said to eclipse
anything that has so far been attempt
ed in the realm of musical comedy
stagedom. The other pictures include
a ballet school in Vienna, an aeroplane.
a well known Partisan hotel, a famous
art studio in Paris, and the land of
peach blossoms in the south OF France.
Miss Held devoted several months i'll
Paris during the past year in select
ing and designing costumes for Miss
Innocence, and the gowns she wears
are accredited with being gorgeous
and stunning. In the organization
there are more than 100 players. The
long list of talent includes Harry Wat

this engagement. Seat sale opens
Tuesday evening.
With Miss Ida st. Leon in the title
role, supported by all of the important
members of the original company,
Polly of the Circus comes to the Fargo
operahouse for an early date. Polly
OF the Circus is a comedy-drama. It's
story is a romance that leads in and
out of the sawdust ring. 1t was writ
ten by Miss Margaret Mayo and pro-
duced by Frederic Thompson.
The story of the play is unusually
attractive. With its novelty it COM
bines cleanliness and wholesomeness.
Polly, it's central figure, is a young
circus rider who is injured by a fall
from her horse while the show is in
a small town. 1t is out of the cues
ton for her to accompany the circus
to the next stop, and she is left at the
parsonage, opposite the circus lot ia

life than that of the sawdust ring. and
some time elapses before she can
familiarize herself with the said ex-
istence of such a community as is now

in doing this, the sound of the young
minister's voice has become the most
promising feature of her hopes for the
future. He in turn has found the fas-
cination of the unlearned but intelli-
gent and pure-hearted sprite from the
canvas-topped community almost ir-
resistible. The opposition of his par
ishoners displays itself in a finally
successful attempt to drive the girl
from her haven. Learning that TN
circus is in the neighboring township,
h fees the parsonage and returns to
the show to take her regular place
on the programme. The minister
awaits her return for a month and
then realizing that the happiness Of
both. is at stake. goes to reclaim her.
He takes her from the ring in the
very midst of the performance. The
curtain falls upon the pair standing
upon the deserted circus lot watching
the twinkling lights of the big animal
wagons disappear in the distance. A
more genuinely refreshing play than
Polly of the Circus has not. visited here
in a decade, and theatregoers are al
ready. regarding this attraction as the
treat of the season.
The musical comedy, Little Miss Fix
1t, which was billed for the Fargo
o~perahouse for next Tuesday, Feb. g.,
has been cancelled and the play will
not be seen in Fargo this season.

About half of the teachers consider
mathematics superior for mental dis

siderable number consider it superior
for certain kinds of discipline, usually
for improvement in logical reasoning
or in accuracy. A few qualify their
approval, saying that mathematics is
superior to some subjects or for some
minds. About 10 per cent Of the
teachers do o regard it as superior
to other subjects and one says In
answer to the question, Decidedly
no.
The nature of the superiority IS
usually stated in terms of the desIr-

to be produced more readily through
