Pendleton schools are going to have to
pay more attention to accuracy in
their arithmetic from this time on.
More attention to this old funda-
mental "R" will be paid on account of

In the schools here which shows that
Susie and johnnie, while they are bet =

n the virtue of being accurate in their
work.
The results Of the test which was
held In the grades from the third to
and including the seventh, indicates
that Pendleton boys and girls are ex-
cellent renders, and they know how to
spell little better than children in
other sections of the United States, bat
when It comes to getting correct re-
suits In the four fundamental opera :
lions of adding, subtractng, multiply
Ing and dividing, they are not quite IN
to par. Their speed is satisfactory.
