ing arithmetic to the seventh, eighth
and ninth grades. Her seventh
graders are now studying per cent;
you know, finding what per cent
one number is of another. They
have also been solving problems of
investment, so if you have any
trouble concerning your invest

have it all fixed up in flash. And
finding percents of increase and
decrease is also part of their work.

triangles. They bisect lines and
angles and construct perpendicu-
