TOO MUCH ARITHMETICg

One leading university has decided
that public school students are
treated to too much arithmetic. The
investigators found that boys in
short pants and girls in short socks
are taught more different kinds of
calculations and computations than
the average grown man or woman
ever uses or needs.
That's bad news for the conscien-
tious and ambitious pupils, but there
is probably truth in it, and they may
be expected to resign themselves res
olutely, if reluctantly, to being de-
prived of some of the joys of f1gur-
ing problems-"cipher," we used to
call it.
AS a matter of fact, how many col
lege graduates of 40 or thereabouts
are able to extract the cube root, or
even the square root, of a large
number? How many can resolve in
to factors an algebraic expression
and who wants to? Yet many hours
of hard application were spent over
those very subjects. It is pretty
much like forcing a small boy to
practice for hours on piano which
he grows to hate. There is no rea-
son to consider the school curricu-
lum of the past, or of the present, as
perfect. 1t must be studied for i'm
provement.-The Pathfinder.

HIGH TYPE INSURANCE
MANAGEMENT

In order to be prepared to pay
losses promptly, insurance compan-
les must have constantly on hand
enormous sums of money, either in
cash or securities which can be in
stantly turned into cash. AS it
would be an absolute waste to keep
money in vault where it could pro-
duce no return, insurance compan-
les keep their funds invested in safe
securities. During the past several
years the advance in security values
has added greatly to the financial
strength of stock fire insurance
companies.
On the other hand, for the six
years preceding 1927, fire and light
ming insurance was written at an
actual underwriting loss because of
excessive fire losses.
No sensible person would rest his
belief in continued financial success
for the fire insurance companies
upon the assumption that the extra
ordinary advance in security values
which has been in progress for al
most five years, may reasonably be
expected to continue indefinitely.
The guiding minds in American
fire insurance have not been misled
by the very welcome investment
gains derived by the companies from
advance of security prices. Leaders
in the business know that the ulti-
mate success or failure of insurance
companies will depend wholly upon
their ability to maintain underwrit-
ing profits as well as investment
profits. With this thought in mind,
Milford chronicle., 1929-07-05

they have been working ceaselessly
to place underwriting upon a per-
manently safe and sound basis. That
they have been succeeding, even
while premium rates have been go
ing steadily down, is evidenced by
the fact that 1927 and 1928 showed
the first underwriting profit in eight
years.
Instead of resting idly on their
oars while security values were in
creasing, insurance executives have
so improved actual underwriting
practices and have been instrument
tai in encouraging fire prevention to
such an extent, that if there should
be sudden reversal in the securi-
ties market, the unhappy combina-
ton of sharp shrinkage in the
value of their investments plus un-
derwriting losses, would not both
take place at the same time.
Development of this scientifically
correct position in fire insurance
represents an outstanding example
Of executive ability, and foresight
carried out primarily in the public
interest.

Delrnar

Thomas M. Oliphant, a highly re-
spected citizen and one of the best
known farmers of this section, pass
ed away at his home, about three
miles east of Delmar, $50 Wednes-
day afternoon, June 26.
The cause of his death was paraly-
sis, the first attack occurring eight
years ago. While his condition was
never the same afterward, yet his
recovery was such as to enable him
to work and look after his affairs
for few years. Subsequent at
tacks, however, completely incapaci-
tated him and the last stroke was
fatal. He is survived by three
children-George, Edward and Mrs.
Julia Hastings; one step-daughter,
Mrs. Cleora Hancock, and one
adopted daughter, Mrs. Ida Bennett,
of Delmar; also two sisters-Mrs.
Lizzie Maddox and Mrs. G. R. Figgs,
of Laurel.
Mr.. Oliphant was lifelong DEM
ocrat and up until a few years ago
took a keen interest in politics.
He went to housekeeping on the
farm on which he died, about fifty
years ago, and by his own declara-
ton, in very moderate circumstan-
ces, but by industrious habits and
good business judgment he became
a large land owner and accumulated
an estate of considerable import
ance. The deceased was seventy
years old and for several years gave
good dinner to a large number of
his friends on the anniversary of
his birth. These occasions were
sources of much enjoyment to both
guests and host. This year, how
ever, illness prevented a repetition
of these affairs, much to the regret
of his many friends.
Funeral services were held from
his late home Saturday afternoon at
2 o'clock, Rev. ]. T. Bailey officiat-
ing, and interment made in the fam
lily burial ground.

~ "a kick that set Chicago on
flre-could have exceeded the
CONSERVATION of Cub fans as they
listened to radio accounts of the Bruin
debacle In the seventh inning of today's
world series game at Philadelphia.
Clustered around the radios in their
homes, hotel lobbies shops and on
street corners, the thousands cheered
feverishly as the Bruins piled up what
appeared to be an eight-run lead in
six and one-half innings. Then came
the crash and except for the few who
were still hopeful, the throngs dispersed
dumfounded and disguised.
"Aw, tune In on some foot ball game" ;"
shouted several fans who composed a
crowd of several thousand which lis
tened to radio report from a news
paper.
Betting odds, which rose prohibitive-
ly in favor of the Athletics after the
first two games and then dropped to
more reasonable proportions after the
Cub victory yesterday. again bounded
to 10 to ! that Connie Macks men
would win the series. Odds were offered
at to 3, too, that the Cubs would not
win another game.
However, the winding band Of faith
fulS stuck to their hopes that Joe Nc
Carthy and his band would come back
Monday to win and bring the big
circus back to Wrigley Field for
decision. They pointed out that their
heroes were hitting and that they
would stage another comeback.
Street corner critics were generous
in their criticism of Manager Mccarthy
for not sending in Pat Malone as soon
as Charlie Root began to crack. All
had something to say and but little OF
their conversation was complimentary
to the team that blew an ejght-run adj
vantage.
Chicago never witnessed such a num-
ber of large radio congregations as
blocked the streets everywhere today.
TRAFFIC police had their hands full,
street cars were tied up, and busy
pedestrians were forced to trend the
streets in many places.
