ARITHMETIC Is MADE EASY.
Montcssori Method of Instruction an
Attraction to Youngsters.

A correspondent writes from Bar
celona:
The attendance at Doctor Montes-
sorVs lectures here was as truly in
ternational as one could expect in the
present condition of Europe. The ma
jority were teachers in Barcelona
itself or in the province Of Catalonia.
There We're several distinguished
teachers or professors sent by cduca-
tional authorities of other countries,
such as Portugal, and from other
provinces of Spain, Britain. Canada
and the United States were rep
resented.
Half the course was devoted to the
newer elementary material and tho
method of using it. The method has
the same auto-eduCative principle
which distinguishes the infant divis-
ion. The subjects treated were arith-
metic, geometry and grammatical
analysis The first two subjects, no
toriously abstract in most systems Of
instruction, here become objective.
For example, Euclid, Prop I, AS, could
be ocularly demonstrated in three
different ways in a few minutes.
Grammatical analysis may seem an
ambitiC us subject for children of from
to 10, but for children who have
been brought up in the previous
Montessori schools it becomes amaz-
ingly simple. Doctor Montessori k-S

on my own account with a bright
little English boy of IL in barcelona,
who was being educated in a French
school. excellent of its kind. The boy
had taken a distaste to arithmetic and
had the usual hazy notion of his age
about it's uses and application. He
had not yet begun decimals: but by
the simple aid of the rods of the
"long stair" in the infant material he
understood thoroughly in ten minutes
the meaning of the point and the
value of zcros on the left and right
side of the point, and could do sums

HAS s MILLION FIGHTING MEN.
Only Russia Can Raise Greater Army
Than the United States.

The census bureau estimates that
there are nearly 21 million men in the
United States between the ages Of IS
and 40, of whom / 1,S42,266 reside In
Pennsylvania. In determining the
academic question of how great an
army this country could, by general
conscription, put into the field there
are number of deductions to be
made. One is the total of alien whites.
Chinese and Japanese who would be
unavailable for military duty-a total
that the census bureau fixes at
l,SSS, 900. Another is the total of
physically unfit which could only be
determined by medical examination.
Still a third and considerable deduc-
ton is thettal of those in trades and
occupations necessary to the susten-
ance of the country and the main
tenance of the army and navy. For
though modern warfare enlists the
service of the entire population of a
nation, it requires that a considerable
industrial population be left behind to
supply the machinery and the muni-
tons of war. How many Of Amer
ica's men of fighting age are engaged
In indispensable trades has not yet
been computed.
RuSsia's fighting strength is eSti-
mated at about eighteen million. Ger
many's at a Titles less than eight mil
lion. Austria's at about five million. In
the case of the latter two nations there
totals were probably reduced by de-
ductions for indispensable trades
and increased again during this war
by the calling out of classes less than
is and more than As years. These
estimates likewise probably fail to take
into account the physical disability of
a large percentage of males of fight
ing age.
1t is generally computed that about
per cent of n country's population is
available for military duty. on this
basis of computation Germany's total
of availables would be brought down
to five million and that Of the United
States to eight million, which
nearer TO the truth than 81 million,
and which is, incidentally, a greater
army than any nation except Russia
could put into the field.-Cincinnati

Swooning in rosebuds and dew,
Far away on an ocean kissed island
To Il land where dream pictures
come true
Come sit with me, dear, in the twilight,
AS We glide our barqUe DER the sea,
With souls wrapped in rhyme
And our hearts beating time
To the waves silv'ry chime,
Sung, dear, to you and to me.
Come 90 with me, love, to this garden
Where never an angry wind blew,
But z"pHyrs w''l perfumes o'erladen
Lightly their fragrance bestrew;
To the island where grief never enters,
And loneliness, dear, is unknown,
Where loves lifting theme
Threads the gold of each dream
With a gladness supreme
Through cons of time all our own.
Cone so with me, love. to this garden,
Sweeter than heart ever knew;
Where birds never cease their soft
singing,
Where the dream Of the dreamer
comes true.
My spirit to yours. love. is calling,
Calling and pleading with you;
Come, loved one, with me
Ger the breast of the sea,
Where together well be
In the island where dreamings
