To add this course 1t was necessary to
drop commercial geography In

introduced. Many students have no
need for an extended study of algebra
and Of geometry. Little provision has
been made for them. To make better
provision, course In modern mathe-
MATES is offered in the Sophomore
year The aim of this course is to
acquaint the student with many or
the more practical and disable portions
Of the various branches of mathemat-
les, and then to make his present
knowledge and use of arithemetic
more effective. The second course In
mathematics is offered to the seniors.
This course aims to give thorough
and effective review of practical BUSH
ness mathematics during the first half
year and in the second half a review
Of the uses of mathematics in other
lines Of wark. The courses now offered
in the high school provide not only
for the college prepatory students, but

WHEAT PRICES DROP
ON BEARISH REPORT
Canadian Government Estimate
Leads to Material Setback
in Trading Today.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. August 4.-Bearish as
poets of the Canadian government
crop report led to a material setback
in wheat values today after an up.
turn at the start. A forecast Of show
ers in Canada tended also to weaken
the wheat market. Opening I'M
changed to 5s higher, wheat under
went an all-around decline. Corn, oats
and provisions We're easier, corn start
ing IA to "a lower, and subsequently
receding still more.
Announcement in the official crop
summary from Canada that Alberta
probably will produce the same guam
tity of wheat as last year was con-
strued as a distinctly bearish factor
here today, inaSinuch as Alberta last
year harvested 100000 bushels. 1t
was pointed out here that these
figures compare with one recent un-
official estimate of 100000 bushels
for Alberta this season--in other
words that the Canadian government
now indicates $4,000 900 bushels more
wheat in Alberta than some expects
have predicted.
According to various opinions here
the Canadian government report also
implies that the 1926 wheat yield in
Manitoba will equal last years pro-
duction by that province. On the
other hand. one Chicago authority in
terpreted the Canadian report as in
dicating less than 800, 900. 900 bushel
yield this season in the three prairie
provinces. The report itself contained
