Shades OF George Washington!

The following is the first paragraph OF syndcated
propaganda appearing the press:
Washington, d. C--Washington's birthday. Feb
ruary p, will be featured this year by conference
in the nations capital that has for its object the pro-
motion OF temperance in the United States. In view
OF the fact that the country has prohibition by
constitutional amendment, and the Nolsead law to
enforce it. it may appear somewhat extraordinary
that such a conference should be held 1t may seem
even more extraordinary when 1t is known that the
conference has been arranged by and will be held :
under the auspices of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment.
Indeed this is very extraordinary proposition, even
to the day which the conference Is to be held The
OF the program OF the National Association OPP
posed to Prohibition the notification OF the Con-
stituton OF the United States We would suggest that
the meetings Washingtons birthday be opened with
the statement made by the Father OF his Country in his

THINK 1T OVER
What Is Practical Arithmetic?
By William, Matf.er LetUis,
president George Washington University

Some one has referred to America as
a Nation of economic illiterates. This
is undoubtedly an eXtravagant state
ment, but the success of all sorts of
dishonest financial organizations DEM
onstrates that it Is not without some
foundation in fact.
One Of the most effective ways of re-
ducing economic illiteracy and check
mating the gold brick purveyor is
found in the proper teaching of math-
ematics, particularly arithmetic. Here
is a subject to which our schools give
more time than to any other with the
exception of language.
Says Alley: Gin mathematics, con-
illusions are not made because they
are pleasing and desirab BILE, but be-
cause they are inevitable. The ma
ture of mathematics Is such as to
train the students away from the for
nation of conclusions to buy gold
bricks of any style. If the mathe-
NAUTICAL type of thinking were more
common, the get-rich-quick concerns
would be less common. The delusion
Of so per cent dividends on stock that
cost 10 per cent cannot long remain
in the mind of the man who thinks,
mathematically."
That appears to be a rather opti-
that school teachers are considered
among the easiest prey for fake in
vestment promoters. The statement
is true if the mathematical thinking
is done along practical rather than
abstract lines. For instance percent
age in arithmetic can be taught in
such a way that the pupil Is perma-
nently impressed with the fact that
when one is offered more than a GER
tain rate of interest for his money,
he is probably gambling with the
cards stacked against him, and not
investing. In most instances, how
ever, the subject Is not so handled
as to stress this point.
Again, in percentage knowledge of
merchandising can be impaired. A
so-called practical Arithmetic" has
in it this problem: eff a merchant
purchases a hammer for 25 cents and
sells it for so cents, what per cent
does he make on the transaction"
The answer given is 100 per cent.
No consideration is given to the over
head of the business. to rent, clerk
hire, advertising and all the other
elements that enter into the sale of
that hammer.
What we need is to have the sub
ject of arithmetic vitalized and drama
tiZed by those who know both mathe-
NAUTICAL technique and the operations
of actual business.
Some one has defined technique in
arithmetic as facility and accuracy
in fundamental operations" All of
us need facility and accuracy along
this line.

Crossing the Channel.

Crossing the Channel.
Did you ever cross the Channel
In a wibble wobble craft,
Where the liquid canton flannel
Swept the vessel fore and aft
And the seasick friends lay moaning
In the cabin small and dim?
For neglect we were atoning,
We had not learned how to swim.
Hereafter when we're crossing
Where the angry pillows roar,
Well disdain the steamboat tossing
AS it rides from shore to shore;
We will join the general movement
That defies old Neptune grim,
Methods show great improvement,
When you cross the Channel-swim.
