LEARNING Arithmetic In Play
TEACHING CHILDREN At SCHOOLS DOES AWAY
PROBLEMS AND GIVES PUPIL SOME
INTEREST HIM IN HIS STUDIES

Suppose, when you are going TO
school. instead OF being given a long
example in arithmetic 10 do, your
teacher had asked you TO make an
imaginary visit 10 the market for
her and buy her lunch. and suppose
she had left II all 10 your judgment
what YOU would buy for her and had
asked YOU 10 make out list showing
her just what YOU bought and how
much each thing cost. as well as how
much the entire bill amounted TO? DO
you think you'd have gotten more
amusement out OF IL than YOU would
out OF one OF the examples in the
arithmetic?
Or course. you would. And you'd
have learned more arithmetic. too.
That is the way the children are be-
ing taught in the schools where mod
ern educational methods are being
followed. The dull. listless student
has gone the way of the uninteresting
problem Nowadays the up-to-date
teacher does not give long columns OF
figures that mean nothing. but list
OF things that children know some
thing about.
In one modern school the little ones
were given things TO do that were OF
intense interest 10 them. The little
girls were told TO prepare list OF
things that were necessary for doll !
outfit OF clothes. They were required
10 give the quantities in yards and
inches and the prices. Then they
made out lists of totals of each. For
IN Uar
ments made from one kind OF cloth
The quantity in each garment was
stated and the amounts added to ge,
the total quantity needed Then the
prices per given quantity were stated
and the selling price divided or multi
piled. as the case might have been
10 find out what each kind of material
cost
The Detroit times., 1913-06-04

when this had been finished, the
little girls were given the cloth they
had ordered in their imaginations and
were set TO work making the gar
ments. During the time required for
the making. lesson was given in
hygiene through the explanation OF
why certain kinds of clothes are worn.
The boys were given problems deal
ing With the making OF paper models
OF furniture and things OF that sort
and were then required to make the
furniture. A miniature show was set
up and all sorts OF groceries and
butchers supplies were dealt with.
The teachers who started this system
were astonished at the results they
obtained And the work, especially
in the primary grades. has taken on
more and more OF the objective char
acter rather than dealing In purely alb
stract problems as was the custom
wears ago The result has been that
more real progress Is made In schools
today than ever before.

lan two years. Over some 40 miles
'f the route the Great Northern is to
use the tracks of the Kettle Valley
line. The contract for filling in the
gap between the east and west side
OF the mountains has been let. and
while the distance Il only 40 miles
those 40 miles are over the Cascades,
and embraces the heaviest and most
expensive railroad work ever under
taken in the west. Tb road will be cut
through rock most OF the way, with
numerous short tunnels. Little pro-
gress can be made in winter, although
the contractors are assembling men
and material and will do as much as
can possibly be done during the win
ter months. This means that in all
probability trains will not be running
through to tide water on the main
line until late in 1915.

LODGE OFFICIALS

Frank Dayton. of Seattle, Grand
Master of the l. o. o. F. of the state.
and George Kellogg, of Walla Walla,
Deputy Grand Master, were visitors
at the local lodge of Odd Fellows
Monday night, special meeting be .
ing held for their reception. There
was a large gathering of the clan
end such a pleasant social mingling
of the membership OF the order as ha.s
not taken place in the local lodge !, ,r
4 long time. After the session of tx
lodge refreshments were served by
the wives of the members. All who
were present greatly enjoyed meet
ing the grand officers, who are genial
and pleasant gentlemen, both socially
and in their official capacity. Their
coming aroused the get-together spirit
and more frequent visits from those
high in authority in the order would
have a beneficial effect on local
lodges. Messrs. DAYTON and Kellogg
spent Tuesday in 0roville, meeting
with those Odd Fellows who were
prevented from attending the Mou-
lay night reception, leaving a most
favorable impression among those
they met both in and out of the or
ganiZation.

A NARROW ESCAPE

Few people realize with what vel
ocity bullet fired in the air decends
to earth, following the law of gravita
tion. If they did they would be more
careful firing rifle bullets into the
air. There was an illustration in this
place Tuesday of the force bullet has
falling to earth from a great altitude
While carpenters were at work on the
scaffolding on the south side OF Odd
Fellows hall Tuesday morning a fall
ing bullet passed through an inch
board on the upper scaffold and i'm
bedded itself in board on the scaf-
fold few feet below directly at the
feet of two workmen. These men
were Morris Walmer and AL Sailing
They heard the bullet strike over
head and thought the scaffold was CIV
ing away, but before they could move
the missile struck the board upon
which they were standing, buryine
itself in the wood. 1t missed the men
only few inches, had it struck either
of them on the head death would have
resulted. No one has any idea where
the bullet was fired from, or when
Judging from its velocity however
it must have been fired last week In
order to have reached the height
from which 1t fell.

AGAIN LAYING TRACK

Engineer A. l.. Hill once more has
mis- big gang on the job, and the work
If laying track from Ophir to Pateros
is again under way. Material in the
yards here is being shipped to the
ront, and gang of 25 men went out
Wednesday morning. The bridge
across the Okanogan river, at Ophir,
s well Oh the way to completion, and
construction trains can cross on false
work Let it be whispered SO that 1t
will not be heard far through the val
ley that the track laying machine is
not to be put in commission. Rails
from Ophir to Pateros will be laid
by the strong arm method. Hand
laying of steel is much slower than
by the machine process, though none
the less sure. There is not a great
distance to cover from the bridge
across the Okanogan to the bridge
across the Methow, and the hand laid
rails will reach Pateros before the ma
chine reaches that point from the
south. Even if proceedings are to
1rag as to lining out steel, it is far
better that dragging process be fol-
lowed than no process at all. 1t
means reach the end sometime, any,
means reaching the end some time
anyhow.

GET OUT AN EXHIBIT

If Oroville is to make an exhibit
at the Riverside county fair it is time
some one was getting busy making a
collection of products for that pur-
pose. The goods are here upon which
prizes can be taken if collection can
only be gathered together and placed
on exhibition. Every lot of exhibits
helps to make the fair a success, and
encourages the association. And 1t
is an institution deserving of every
encouragement. This is matter that
the Commercial Club should take up
and push through. A committee OF
live ones, and such can be found
should be selected to gather an ex-
Hibit and forward to Riverside II
will require some time and exertion
to collect fruit. vegetables and other
products and if a showing is to be
made the work of assembling should
be no longer delayed.

MULTIPLYING RAPIDLY

Under the benign protection of the
game law Bob White quail have null
tiplied in great numbers in the valley.
The first few years after this beauti-
full game bird was imported from the
east and turned loose in the county
there was no noticeable increase in
numbers. Indeed, the first install
ment almost all died out, for the past
three or four years they have increas-
ed steadily in numbers, and a bevy
can be jumped up at almost any time
and in almost any place in the valley.
The protective law expires next year,
and then there will be great slaught-
er of the innocents. Hunters will
have to be vigorously restrained as
to the number to be killed or the
little birds will be rapidly exterminat-
ed.

BACK ON HIS OLD JOB

Prof. T. II. Granville returned to
Oroville Tuesday. The show going
public will remember the professor
for he had charge of the musical end
of the Lyric theater for months, and
supplied excellent music in that posi-
tion. Prof. Granville had an idea that
there was a better show across the
line, and last winter accepted a posi-
ton in a moving picture theater al
Penticton. He has lived more recently
ut Vancouver. No man was ever hap-
pier at getting back to his old home
than the professor He is simply over,
'oyed at being back in Oroville. He
paints a narrowing word picture OF
conditions over the border. All who
n do so are getting out of the coun.
try, and all who cannot, want to. ac.
cording to his report. The boom was
over done in Canada, and now money
is a stranger to most pockets. I'm.
provements are suspended, houses are
vacant, prices of real estate, so Ions
fictitious have slumped, and the bot
tom has fallen out of the erstwhilt
good times. He says the only people
working in Vancouver are Hindoos
Cinnamon and Japanese. He says thai
several hundred people want to come
TO Washington, and many of then
have their eyes on Oroville. Prof
Granville is an exceptionally efficien
musician, playing well on several in
struments, and henceforth will sup
ply music for the Orpheum. while
having the general care of the theater
He was pleasantly surprised to not
the improvements in Oroville, anC
keenly appreciated the warm welcom,
he met with on every hand upon hi
return.
