Algebra Speed Contest
Cumberland Schools

Freeport, Me-, Dec. 15-Consider-
able interest has been aroused in the
algebra speed contest held today by
five Cumberland county schools. The
participating schools were Pennell
Institute OF Gray. Scarboro High,
Windham High, Yarmouth High and
Freepore High schools. In each of
these schools the contest was held
today and the results were forward
ed to Andrew w. Solandt of the
Portland Y. NJ. c. A. who officiated
as referee. 1t will be several days
before the outcome of the contest is
announced.
Attention is focused especially on
Freeport High school. whose fresh
man class. through it's instructor.
Miss Clara Williams, issued chal-
lenge to the schools of the whole
world for a contest in the addition
of algebra.
The proficiency of the class is
shown by recent test in which all
but four of a class of 25 performed
correctly SO processes of addition in
one minute. Glasses n other schools
which have been tested previous to
this year have thought themselves
average of 10 or 20. Ever since the
beginning of November the median
of the Freeport class has been well
above 80 and is now a good strong
SO.
This speed contest arouses a pu-
pills interest in algebra and conse-
quently quickens his progress in it.
At the same time the test takes al
most no time from the regular work
in algebra. For one minute the pu-
pills show absolute concentration on
their task. then the papers are
scored and within five minutes ev-
eryone is ready for the assigned les
son of the day.
There appears to be some misun-
derstanding as to the nature of the
test. OF course no freshman could
solve 33 problems like How old is
Anne?" in such a brief time as one
minute. The processes of which the
freshmen carry out SO in one min
ute are combinations of signed num-
bers. such as the addition of minus
3 and minus 2. or minus Z and plus
4. This seems simple but all later
algebra depends on skill in these
processes.

WHERE'LL WE GETTHE MONEY?

would not bond tie next generation

In worse condition than before the
roads were originally built with bond
money.
Just how, then, would they get the

every mile of new State road that is

OF maintenance money is REQUIRED.
Where is the money to come from?

Editorial Comment
The Democratic Strategy on Taxes
IN. Y, World)

On. Y. World)
Two facts are now evident in the
tax situation in Washington. First,
the Democrats are unwilling to let
their taX-revision bill be shelved;
they hope to revive it by obtaining
21S signatures to a petition which
will bring 1t out of the clutches of
the Ways and Means Committee.
Second, the Administration is dis
appointed over the failure of it's
tax-rebate plan; but the House
Republicans are adamant against il,
for they fear that if tax legislation
ever comes before the House there
will be an interminable battle and
the Democratic plan may, be sub
stituted. The immediate fight is
over the question whether the House
shall consider taxes at all. The
Republicans say no; the Democratic
leaders hope to persuade thirty-six
insurgents to join them in saying
yes.
The Democratic strategy is es-
sentially a log rolling strategy. Mr..
Gamers bill provides for tax cuts
which will appeal powerfully to a
good many Republican constit-
uencies. 1t includes an 11-per-cent

Druggists Declare It Is the Only
Cough Balsam Of It's Kind

If you were told by your druggist
that he could prepare the best and
quickest acting cough balsam there is,
but that the price would be high be-
cause of it taking hours to COM
pound. and the ingredients expensive,
you'd want that cough balsam regard
less of price wouldn't you?
Anybody would. We all want the
best. No ordinary makeshift syrups,
quickly bottled like soft drinks, will
do for right thinking people, when q
dangerous cough has to be stopped
and stopped at once.
Fortunately your druggist has on
hand at the cost of only 35 cents this
very cough balsam. Modern laboratory
methods, large quantities, but pre-
pared as carefully as a personal pre-
scription enables your local druggist
to sell you Adamson's Botanic Cough
Balsam at this popular price.
