Two Races Compared in Mathematics

II HE relative mathematical abilities
OF boys and girls and of the white
race as compared with the black are
among the subjects taken up by the
United States bureau Of education.
1T seems to be the general opinion
that the average boy shows more abil-
ity In mathematics than the average
girl. but also that he does not work so
faithfully" said the bureau. IN a
mixed class this greater ability of the
boy and the greater faithfulness of
the girl react most advantageously
on each other.
Another fact that is noted Is this:
In elementary algebra the girl does as
good work as the boy; in geometry
not nearly so good. In advanced al
zebra and trigonometry, the boy shows
an ability which is far ahead of the
girl. Yet. we are free to confess that
his greater natural ability is often
outclassed by the steady, patient en-
deavor Of the girl. Perhaps 1t would
be safer to say that the girl does not
show as great an ability as the boy.

of boys and girls to choose elective

PROFITS IN DAIRYING'
Business Is Comparatively New
in Southwest Section.
Extensive Market Offered for Products
In Newly Settled Regions and De-
velopment Of the Industry
lie Urgently Needed.

In much of the southwest cattle
raising for beef has long been the
principal business, but dairying is
comparatively new. There is an ex.
tensive market, however, for dairy
products. and especially in the newly
settled regions it is found that the
dairy industry fills such a place in
agricultural economy that its develop
ment is urgently needed.
In addition, special enterprise has
been undertaken with creamery pa
irons in some states. the object being
to determine whether it will pay
creameries to carry on the same sort
OF work among their own farmer pa
irons for the sake of getting a better
quality Of cream as material for MAX
ing butter. Here also record keeping
has been introduced, along with other
improved methods. and the effort is
made to discover the leaks that reduce
profits.
In the older states of the north
dairying is already an established and
highly developed industry. Contrasting
associations are societies for cooper

the ornamental bamboo commonly
grown here and the timber bamboo
as there is between dray horse and
a polo pony. 1t has never been accu--
rately determined just what the struc-
tural strength of bamboo is, though
the strength Is immense for the
weight. Some tests are to be made
of the new government crop at the
bureau of standards. The wood is al
ready much used in the manufacture
of aeroplanes, and when 1t is known
just what can be expected of 1T there
will be even a greater demand for it.
1t is used very largely in Japan for
house building, though it is not exc
pected it will be in much demand as
building timber in this country, ex-
cept in restricted localities. But
there are other uses for it. The wood
makes the lightest strong furniture
known, and, although it has never
been very much used for that purpose
here, 1t IS thought that the hard, ma
turally polished bamboo will make
bedsteads that will have all the adj
vantage of brass. besides being quite
as handsome, much cheaper and a
great deal lighter.
One Of the important uses of the
wood that has been found abroad Is
for cheap. subsurface irrigation pipes.
