MATTERS OF EDUCATION
BULLETIN JUST ISSUED BY THE
UNITED STATES BUREAU
OF EDUCATION.

"The people of Arkansas" says DR..
Stephen b. Weeks, author of bulle-
tin issued by the United States Blu
reau of Education, whatever short
comings they may show, have been
thoroughly honest with themselves /;
they have never tried to deceive them
selves; they are not in the habit of
claiming that their system is better
than it is or that it is better than that
of other states; they have boldly and
honestly sought to know the true stu
alton, regardless of their relative
rank; they have never comforted
themselves with the flattering JUNCTION
that their system was already the
best that could be devised and there
fore needed no improvement. On the
other hand, their educational leaders
have called things by their true
names; they have recognized their
shortcomings, their plumbers, their
failures, their injustice to themselves,
and with steadiness of purpose
sometimes exceedingly slow, it is true,
but none the less sure-they have
sought to amend the errors of earlier
days and to lay broad and deep the
foundations of school system that
shall grow and develop with the in
creasing strength and power of the
state"
The bulletin discusses Interestingly
the early Indian schools and private
academies; the development of the
state land funds; the educational con-
ditions during the civil war and the
reconstruction epoch; the establish
ment of the office of state superin-
tendent of public instruction; the
present era; city school systems in
and other phases of school
history, past and present.
The bulletin is published by the
United States Bureau of Education
for free distribution.

Mathematics in Ancient Egypt.

Among recent archaeological discov-
cries In Egypt is that of a roll of
papyrus in an excellent state of pres.
ervation and dating from the year
100 B. C. The roll has a long title.
part of which reads, instructions to
enable one to know the Dark Things"
and the gist of it suggests that the
Egyptians were good at mathematics.
Without doubt the Egyptians of that
time possessed knowledge of the
elements of arithmetic. Numerous ex-
amples demonstrate that their prin-
cipal operations with integrals and
fractions were by means OF addition
and multiplication; but subtraction
and division were not known in their
present form However, by a longer
and more invoked process they ar
rived at results pretty accurately In
the papyrus are found equations, for
example: Ten measures of barley are
divided between ten persons in such
a way that each succeeding person
receives an eighth less than the per-
son Immediately preceding him. What
proportion does each one get?" An
other problem is: "There are seten
men, each one of which has seven
CATS each cat has eaten seven rats;
each rat has eaten seven grains Of
barley; each grain of barley must
have produced seven measures of
grain. How much grain has been
lost?" The papyrus contains also the
calculation as to the area of circle,
the quadrature of a circle, and the
cubic measurement of the pyramids

American RaIsln Industry.

The largest importation of raisins
on record was that OF 1884, when a
total of $1,000. 900 pounds entered the
country, as against but 100000
pounds in the fiscal year 1911. The
marked falling of in importations of
raisins is the result CT the rapid in
crease in domestic production, which
first attained commercial Importance
In the early seventies. The American
raisin industry had its beginning in
the great San Joaquin valley of Cali
fornia, which Is still the chief pro-
ducing area in the United States. In
1873 the California crop was but 12O,-
900 pounds, while in 1910 It had grown
to 112,00O.00O pounds. While these
figures suggest a growing consump-
ton of raisins. the per capita con
sumption of raisins in the United
States In 1910 was but one and one
half pounds. compared with five
pounds In the United Kingdom.

Liquor Men Preach Temperance
Liquor Dealers met at Philadelphia
in annual convention a few days ago,
The feature of tn eannual convention
was the advocation OF temperance
In recent years the sellers OF liquors
have been alarmed at the prohibition
wave which swept across many states,
States which were formerly open terri
tory became restricted territory and
the eurtallment of the liquor business
gave t he distillers and wholesalers
much to think about.
The sentiment for temperance is
strong. All of us believe in it, but as
to the best means to attain that end
we cannot agree. Prohibition has been
established in a number of states, but
|lilslor selling has not been suppressed
in any state. The liquor dealers have
seen the temperance movement ana
ithe prohibition movement expand and
they know that If temperance prevails
generally that there will not be such
a demand for prohibition. Hence their
acts are along the lines of self interest
They are trying to put their industry
on plane which will be tolerated by
reasonable people. They have seen the
business slipping away and they have
been much concerned as to the out
look. At times they have feared that
all wet territories would be extnguish-
ed. A distllery without any trade ter
ritory is worse than motor car with
out any gasoline.

gressiye ideas. Their influence may
have little weight on the laws pertain
ing to the sale of liquor, but they are
agitating the temperance question
fro ma new angle. If they can promote
temperance, they are ON the right
track. They might be able to aid the
cause of temperance by consolidating
their business with that OF the brew
ers so that the sale of alcoholic liquors
could be reduced by substituting the
malt liquors which cause small harm
as compared to great harm in the use
of alcoholic liquors by those who don't
know how to drink and won't try to
learn
Let there be more temperance Per
haps we can't agree on methods that
will bring about universal temperance
but since the liquor dealers are on
record for temperance, perhaps the I'M
expected may happen and we will be
able to agree on methods that will
benefit Observation-Disclosures.

Peculiar Afllction.

A case OF giants disease" or aero

Bradford. Yorkshire, England. The
patient, Mr. Harry Faulkner, of More
ly-court Low Moor, a man of thirty,
states that he was normal boy up
to the age of fourteen, when his toes
and jaw began to grow very large.
He continued his employment on the
railway at Bradford, but at twenty
one had to cease work, as his frame
had grown so much and he had be-
come weak. He was then seven feet
tall and weighed over seventeen stone.
The utmost caution had to be taken
in walking, as his limbs came out OF
Joint easily. He is still growing. and
his left hip has become so large as to
prevent him from standing upright.
He Is able to sit up for only a few
hours each day, and is provided with
special chair of large proportions.
He says that he is never free from
pain, and has lost the sight of one
eye. Mr.. Faulkner's parents are both

SQUIRREL SHOWS DEEP GRIEF
Mourns Over Severed Head of Mate
With Intensity That Seems Al
most Human.

Almost every public park in the
United States has its lively and half
domesticated colony of squirrels, and
there is no other creature of the woods
and fields with which city children
may--and do--become so familiar. An
interesting story which shows the
depth of feeling which these little ami
mails are capable, comes to the Com
panion from Waterloo, Ia:
A physician who lives near one Of
the parks in that city had long had
IN especial interest in pair of sQuir'
rels which made their home in tree
within sight of his house. One day he
noticed that one of this pair was run
ming up and down certain tree in
the park, meanwhile chattering in the
greatest excitement. Finally the lit
tie fellow appeared on branch, hold
ing between his paws the severed head
Of his mate, over which he was moan
ing and whining pitifully. On inyesti

rel had been caught and actually de
capitated by limb split off from the
tree by storm of the night before

Of Episode Is Haunting

The newly established practice In

some amusing mistakes. One of these
was wholly lacking In humor, from the
point OF view Of the unfortunate per-

II was this way: An amiable young
ma, walking down Broadway one
morning a short time ago, saw stand

girl. She held in her hand bunch Of
vlolets and camelias. At her feet lay
tray of these flowers. and she
glanced shyly and appealingly al the

May be permitted to buy them all

gallantly, standing before her. hat in

smile.
The girl turned, lookea at him for
an instant in blank amazement, and
then flushed Indignantly. The wretch
ed youth suddenly saw a boy dart
from nearby store and rush up to
the young lady with a handful OF
change. She took the change, pinned
on her flowers and with a whitening
glance at the would-be supporter OF

In all the good roads discussion there
is little or nothing said about keeping
roads in repair after having once been
built. A road may be made perfect but
tha wear of wagons and teams and
automobiles soon reduce them to a
condition that necessitates repair.

ago. We should not only build new
roads but should keep up those we al.
