The method for the l other operations will be similar In subtraction the numbers involved will be of six digits. In multiplication the factors will have not more than six digits. In division the dividend and the divisor will have not more than eight and four digits respectively.
 The grades of the papers will be
 based upon rapidity and accuracy.
 Any paper which is untidy or not
 easily legible will not be considered.
 In case sufficient interest is shown
 in the contest, public exhibition may
 later be arranged for the four con
 testants having the best sets of papers
 In that case the contestants will per

 dience and the most expert will be . declared champion. The number of competitors from each school is restricted to two. University hall. Room F, Thursday April 19, 1:30 D. m.
