CHANGE METHODS
Mental Arithmetic Being Intro
duced into Michigan Schools

By virtue Of the State Course OF
Study and bulletins issued by the De-
partment OF Instruction, radical
change is being made In the teaching
OF arithmetic in the Michigan schools
During his twenty years superiDten-
dency at Ironwood, Superintendent Of
Public Instruction Luther l.. Wright
developed system of mental arith-
meJic tending To train students 10
alertness, accuracy and efficiency.
This system is now coming into genral
Children are taught TO perform the
mechanical operations through visua-
lizatiUE. Training exercises are placed
on the board and erased almost as soon
ds completed, thus compelling concen-
tration, rapldity OF thought and acur-
acy of vision. There is no time TO
count on fingers but the child SOON
learns com biDations of numbers and
the child is able TO add, subtract,
multiply and divide with a swiftness
that bewiders the average person
brought up on text book figuring. Ii
is thought OF the State Superinten-
dent that all OF the mechanical opera
tions,' such as addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division Of whole
numbers, fractions aud decimals must
be automatic, that all young children
may become lightning calculators.
Skill in using numbers is one thing,
the working out of problems by reason
ing is another. Thought problems,
to which meaning is given the small
child by using concrete objects and
transactions with which he is familiar
supplement the blackboard work.
Business methods are learned by
dramatizing problems. For instance,
one child acts as store keeper and
another is a customer. An order is
given, a bill is presented and the prop
er change Is returned. play money be-
ing used. The children learn how
many quarts there are in a bushel by
measuring instead of memorizing an
all but meaningless table. "a
The Course of Study eliminates the
textbook in arithmetic until the fifth
grade, all the work in the preceding
years being oral. Teachers are urged
10 emphasize the important principles
and ignore the unimportant. The
mental work is TO be continued
throughout the grades and the exam.
piles for the advanced students are u
be largely OF the practical type, deal
ing with the farm or other activities
that are associated with actual life.
Bulletins outlining in detail the ora
work are supplied without cost To the
teachers by the Department Of Public
Instruction. .;.

Swat the Rooster
Reduce Percentage Of Bad Eggs
By Simple Procedure.

With the season OF hot weather,
comes also the season OF rotten eggs.
The Food Laws OF Michigan do not
permit the sale Of rotten eggs any
more than they permit the sale of rot
ten meat or vegetables. Persons who
sell rotten eggs are just as amendable
TO the food laws of the state as persons
who sell other decayed food. From its
construction, however, decay in the
egg is not SO easily discovered as decay
in other food stuffs.
Cause Of Rotten Eggs.
WHY does an egg rot? 1t is because
1t is fertile egg Eggs that are not
fertile do not rot. A hen can set three
weeks on fertile eggs and every one at
the end Of that time will appear like
fresh eggs. Infertile eggs will dry up
but they will not rot.
What causes fertile egg to rot? The
fertile egg has in 1t the form or life in
a dormant state. When the tempera-
ture OF that egg is raised above 80 de-
grees, incubation starts and the germ
begins to take on life. II the tempera-
ture OF that egg afterwards fa Is below
90 degrees the germ is chilled and dies
IL. becomes a dead chicken in embryo
Putrefactive processes set in, Or, In
common terms, the eggs rot. One
good lot day In sumner will start
thousands of eggs TO incubation. Un-
less consumed within the eggs will do
the same. This is why We have the
rotton eggs in hot weather. In the
spring the DAYS are not warm enough
TO start incubation.
Prevention of Rotten Eggs.
When we remember that only fertile
eggs rot, the remedy for rotten eggs is
simple. Produce none but infertile
eggs during the hot months. This
can easily be accomplished by remov-
ing the rooster from the flock. After
the middle OF June the hatching sea .
son is past. The old rooster is Of no
further utility IN the flock. Then is
the time To swat the old rooster. 1t
is an economic waste TO feed him
further. He will bring higher price
then than any other time. Make
chicken pie Of him or sell him to the
summer resorttr. Any way swat him.
The little chicks will produce roosiers
for the next Matching season. More
over the old hen. having no males
with which 10 flirt and waste her time
on, will put in her time and energy in
egg production. She will produce
more eggs. without Mr.. Rooster than
with, and these infertile eggs will not
rot To our poultry keeping friends
let us again say with emphasis as soon
as the batching season is over ''swat
the rooster" 1t may saye you fine
and costs. 1t will likewise have a
great moral effect in the prevention
Of profanity which occurs when rot
ten egg blows up. 1t will be especially
appreciated by stock companies in
country towns. Remember 1t is the
old rooster that produces all the rotten
eggs.

Dayton, Ohio, March 27.-Daylight
showed that last nights fire had de-
stroyed many blocks of the business
section. The refugees can be seen
frantically driven from roof to roof.
1t is certain scores of persons were
burned to death last night.
The water is still swirled ten to
twenty feet deep through the burning
area, and is too swift for boats.
John Bell, the telephone chief who
sat calmly and told the story of the
downtown food to Governor Cox at
Columbus all day yesterday, has not
been heard from since just before
daylight when he said his burning
building had collapsed.
A snowstorm all the morning caused
intense misery.
The business section is still on fire
this afternoon. Dynamite has been or
dered to blow up buildings provided
the flood waters recede enough.

Conditions Improved at Dayton.

[By Associated Press
Columbus, Ohio, March PA ma.
rooned Bell telephone operator got a
wire and reported the fires in Dayton
practically have died out. The food
waters now have receded so far that
it is likely those imprisoned can be
released before dark.
Four motor boats from Cincinnati
were launched in the city streets to-
day and rushed to points of greatest
peril.
Although there are constant rumors
of great numbers of deaths from fires
at far portions of the city, the fact
remains that so far there is no actual
knowledge or intelligent estimate of
the mortality The Governors secre-
tary wired from Dayton that it will
be a miracle if the dead do not ex-
ceed 1000, and he would not be sur
prised at 10000.
Now that the fire and water seem
conquered, the danger of deaths from
famine and exposure becomes immi-
nent.
