conceptions notwithstanding
the District Congress Of Parents
and Teachers was told yesterday
DR.. Carl F. Hansen. associate
superintendent in charge OF
District elementary schools. said
mathematics is one of the most
important areas Of instruction

Hansen said.
instruction Improved.
Two in-service training pro-
grams for mathematics teachers
have been held in recent years,
DR.. Hansen said. in an effort
to improve instruction in this
field.
Frankly. some Of us have the
feeling that the newer, younger
folks coming out of college to
teach haven't had quite the
thorough-going grasp that is
needed in this field" he de-
clared.
DR.. Hansen said this problem
is not peculiar to Washington
and declared the in-service train
ing coupled with new ideas in
teaching methods has strength
ened the arithmetic instruction
program.
Miss Evelyn Bull, a teacher at
Janney School, introduced the
parents to some of the tools used
by teachers in arithmetic classes.
The school building and every
thing in it. she said, has its place

Noble Countians are not the first to undertake to build

The Pomerene Memorial Hospital in Miersburg,
Holmes county, is just such project.

The county then passed bond issue in the amount of

In 1885, the voters approved another bond for
$l900OO to build wing which will approximately
double the capacity of the present hospital result in GA
beds.
At the present time, the hospital been unable to
meet the needs of the community and especially lacks
maternity and nursery facilities, which will be provided in
The fact that the hospital in Holmes county has not

In other words this should arguments that

Regardless of their proximity evident that hospital
in this county would be self supporting.
1t also indicated that the Holmes county hospital
not built with assistance of funds from the HBurton

MORROW COUNTY HOSPITAL

Richard W. Caar superintendent of the Morrow county
hospital enthusiastic about the efforts of Noble county
to construct hospital and he is of the opinion that
it be done here for they accomplished the thing
in Mt Gilead
The population of Mt Gead is 1900 and that of Nor
county approximately $4,000 slightly than that
of Noble county.
The Morrow County Hospital was constructed in 1850
and 1851 at cost of $540000 with the funds being supplied
from bond issue.
1t is A bed hospital and to date has proved adequate
TO meet the needs of the county.
Supt CLAIR said that approximately SO people were
employed at this hospital and that its construction resulted
in one physician locating there
The hospital is not completely self-supporting but an
operating levy of less than mill is all that needed
The Better Service club largely responsible in the
construction of this hospital and they did all the necessary
legwork, in cooperation with the county commissioners
and 4Shers interested
- Morrow County Hospital is located only IL miles
from Gallon % miles from Mansfield Is miles from
Delaware.
Supt Claar said that funds from the Hill-Burton act
were not used in its construction.
The above questionnares show that other communities
the size of this county have gone ahead with their hospital
dream and it has become reality.
There to believe that the same cannot be
accomplished in Noble county.

THE AMERICAN WAY
Statesmen At Bat Again

American business is currently
undergoing rapid changes in its
approach to craftsmanship, and
this possibly, more than any
other single development, will go
far toward averting a major
economic slump,
II has been many years since
any real sales effort has been
needed by most business. We
have lived through times Of scar
city when anyone could sell any
thing; and through years of in
flationary spirals when consum-
ers had plenty of money to
spend. Through this period, the
formerly important salesman lost
his place in the sun because bust
ness leaders assumed the attitude
that we do not have to worry
about statesmen because we can
sell whatever we make"

Queer once again camping on my
doorstep instead of my having to

witness members of the business
community speaking in terms of
sales campaigns, dealer promo

A superbly developed system
of sales, merchandising and ad-
vertlslng was in large degree
responsible for America having
built up such a high standard of
living. The competitive nature
of business - indeed, The rivalry

program provide a sound re-
placement for Anticipated pay
as-you-go construction pro-
grams.
Robert v. Fleming, president.
Riggs National Bank, and A.
nance chairman, Reilly Commit
tee-It is essential that the out
ward movement of people and
business be arrested and reversed
if the Districts economic sta
bility is to be preserved. The
Commissioners financing pro-
posal requires citizens to pay q
fair share of the costs, but high
er Federal payments and loans
are needed from the Federal
Government.
william E. Leahy, attorney
and chairman of the District
Citizens Advisory Council-The
removal of vast areas of taxable
land by the Federal Govern
ment makes it necessary for the
Federal Government to share
costs of the improvement pro-
gram. The Advisory Council
strongly approves the commits
Sioners' proposals as an integ-
rated picture Of what the city
requires.
Washington I. Cleveland, Sec
rotary, District Division, Amer
lean Automobile Association-In
support of a $305 million pro-

the Federal payment should be
raised and that gasoline taxes
should be increased cent a gall

proceeds from the personal prop

be applied directely to the city's
highway fund.
B. M. McKelway, editor Of The

that unless the works program
can be financed and carried out
the continued development of
Washington is threatened. The

better bargain for the United
