History of Arithmetic,
Practical Value, Reasons

concretely upon what is known
The present teaching is to direcl
the child so that he will discover
the new rule for himself and thu.
develop understanding through self
activity.
Drill serves two major purposes:
to aid in the teaching of a new pro-
cess and to retain that which has
been taught. Drill is of fundamental
importance The use of practice
tests enables the teacher to give
systematic proportionate drill upon
the combinations and processes
most needed by each individual pu-
pill.
Practice tests are valuable be-
cause instruction is thereby render
ed more individual in its nature,
and each pupil is given the particu-
lar type of instruction needed.
Through practice tests the teacher
is enabled to more easily and ac-
curately diagnose the work Of each
pupil, and accordingly render more
efficient service.
Practice exercises enable each
pupil to work as rapidly or as
slowly as his nature permits.
Through the keeping of daily re-
cords by the pupil, these tests may
be used as strong incentive for
SELF improvement. The best rivalry
Is the rivalry with ones own re-
cord.
Good problems should be con-
crete to the pupils (real, vivid, and
of interest), typical OF real life.
varied.
Desirable problems may be found
in most of the modern texts in ar
ithmetic. Some Of the undesirable
Chased on Thorndike), are:
1. Catch problems.
2. Problems involving mislead-
ing facts and procedures, absurd
needless language diff
culties, useless methods, and false
3. Problems whose answers
would, in real life, be already
known.
Good results are obtained by hav-
ing the child work problems with
out numbers, indicate the steps in
q problem, give approximate ans
wers, learn vocabulary used in pro-
blems, and analyze text problems.
The pupils should know the condi-
tons of the problem and should be
able to give them without referring
10 their books. The teacher expects
this in silent reading, geography,
etc., why not in arithmetic?
Osburn in Reading Difficulties
n Arithmetic" lists nine causes of
misunderstanding of problems:
1. Lack Of vocabulary.
2. Failure to read or seel all of
he elements in the problem.
3. Failure to resist the disturb
ance caused by preconceived ideas.
4. Inability to read between the
ines.
5. Failure to understand funda-
mental relations, particularly those
If the inverse type.
6. Failure to make a quick
,hange of mental set.
Failure to generalize or transfer
8. Failure to interpret questions
8. Responding to irrelevant ele-
nents.
The teacher should continually !
seek to develop the pupils power to
apply to life situations the arithme-
.ical processes he has learned.
This power of application is COM
monty spoken of as the power to
'eason.
Throughout all the work in arith-
netic, it is important to keep in
mind that the aim should be to !
each the child to analyze and solve |
the quantitative problems |
hat he will meet in his present and
future environment.

1 Am Sending You A Sample Of
Butter and Would Like to Know
What Causes Its Bitter Flavor?

Wn8t causes lCS blCCer FlaVOr!
This bitter flavor is frequent in
butter made on the farm when the
cream used is from only one or two
cows. This flavor is due to chem
ical change and not to feed or any
condition under which the cream
was held before churning. When
cows have been in milk over a long
period, they sometimes secrete fat
splitting engines. The milk may
taste normal when produced but
becomes bitter after standing a
while. Pc"
To prevent this, heat the milk to
temperature OF at least 165 de-
grees Fahrenheit for 10 or Is min
utes to destroy the engine which
causes the chemical change. The
milk should then be separated and
the cream quickly cooled to about
so degrees Fahrenheit and held UNI
til enough is gathered for a churn-
ing. Frequent churning is desir-
able to insure high quality of
butter.-W. B. Combs, Division Of
Dairy Husbandry.

How man has succeeded in pro-

described at a recent meeting Of

High-pressure synthesis is the
technique by which these results
have been accomplished. Mr.. War
denburg said that pressures as
high as $4,000 pounds a square
inch are employed, such a pressure
being equivalent to a column of
water 80 times as high as the
Empire State Building. At this
pressure the gaseous raw ma
terials used in the process have

 Chicago, Jan. 9-(UP)--An old fight fan watched him in action for a few rounds, and said:
 "If that isn't a big edition of Joe Cans, these old eyes are de- ceiving me. He can box, he can punch and he likes to fight. Every move is instinctive. He moves with the grace of an animal. He has great defense and 1t looks like he can take 1t. If he isn't the next heavyweight champion, It'll be because the champion won't fight him."
 He was talking about Joe Louis, 20-year-old negro who was born in Montgomery, Ala, and now lives in Detroit. Louis has fought II pro- fessional bouts since July 4, and won them all--ten by K. O's and three by decisions. He has had every opponent on the floor. As an amateur he had 54 battles, win- ming go by K O.'s and losing only two decisions in 3-round bouts.
 Likes to Go
 Louis is amber colored His face is expressionless. When he goes into action 1t is for one pur- pose: to fight. He never backs up. He keeps moving in, dropping short punches which travel from 6 to 10 inches. He can punch with either fist, from any position.
 Tn six months he has fought his way to the fringe of the leading contenders-Schmeling, Camera, q Ix, e.twS months he'll be the outstanding contender for Max's crown, in the opinion of almost every smart box ton.
 Louis made $1O0 for his first match, and drew more than $4,000 for his 18th bout with Patsy Per roni in Detroit last week. His next bout will be against Hans Birkie at Pittsburgh Friday night, and then he goes to Los Angeles to meet Lee Ramage in a return bout Feb. 21.
 Louis managers are negroes, John Peterborough and Julian Black. His trainer and chief sec- ond is Jack Blackburn, one of the best negro fighters of hsl time. He was so good he had to give away as much as 20 pounds sometimes to get a match.
 The downfall of most Negro fighters in the past has been pros- perity. Louis may avoid this pitt fall. He never drinks or smokes. He is 0 quiet boy, and always tries to remain in the background. They say he reads the bible religiously.

 New York, Jan. 11.-(UP).- The United States Lawn Tennis as- sociation has announced q code of restriction to be adopted by the ex- ecutive committee Feb. that will fall just short of prohibiting con versation between its ahnateurs and the professionals.
 One rule will erect more solid bar against open tournaments in- volving amateurs and the pros. and another will prohibit amateurs from appearing even in exhibitions against the boys who play for money.

 The received $1,s4O.91 each. Lott took his and remarked that 1t was a pretty good salary at that for four hours even if 1t did include the humiliation of defeat against Bill Ti1den and with Stoefen against Ellsworth Vines and Tilden in doubles.
 Stoefen's rate of pay was even. higher than Lott's, inasmuch as he appeared only in doubles, approxi- mating three hours of toll, as the pros call it. Vines received exactly the same amount.
 Tilden and O'Brien share the profits equally and earned $1,800.
 Philadelphia, Jan. -.11-(UP)-- George Lott is starting early to get revenge for the defeat he suf- fered in his professional tennis de- but. against Big Bill Tilden.
 Although the veteran Philadel- phian carried the match the full three sets, all bitterly fought, he finally succumbed here last night, 7-5, 9-11, 9-7.
 Tilden and Ellsworth Vines whipped Lott and Lester Stoefen In doubles, after Vines had trim med Stoefen in their first profess sional singles meeting.
 The doubles was another battle from the beginning through five sets, in which Lott and Stocfen played Tilden and Vines off their feet in the fourth to win 1t c. Love. The score for the match went to Tildcn and Vines, three sets to two, 12-10, 2-6, 6.2. 0-6, 6-2.
 Stoefen made 9 battle of 1t at the beginning of his singles match with Vines, but wilted after a fast start and lost, 7-5, 6-3.
