AUGUSTA. Ga, Dec. 25.-Like

But that's one thing they

Arithmetic Taught
In Chicago Schools
By Ancient Abacus
.AP wirephoto.
By ihs A.soeiosed Pres.

CHICAGO. Dec. 25.-The ma
chine age has caught up with the
teaching Of arithmetic to school
children.
The machine is a part Of a
new method of teaching the
fundamentals of arithmetic de-
veloped by DR.. Andrew F. Schott
Of Marquette University.
The method. oddly enough,
also employs that ancient reck-
oner made of strings of beads
in wooden frame-the abacus.
"A new combination of old
elements" DR.. Schott remarked
at news conference recently.
He then explained the technique
along these lines:
Children In the first three
grades use the abacus to learn
basic counting.
Instead of counting blocks or
marbles they count the beads
on the rows Of wires in the
abacus. They add up the beads
on one wire and then write
down the total ON a piece Of
paper.
The digit 9 on the paper, for
instance. has visible meaning
when it is the sum Of the Q
beads on a wire.
ut bridges the gap between
concrete objects and abstract
numbers" DR.. Schott said.
The youngsters progress from
addition to subtraction and null
tiplication on q new abacus he
has devised.
IF you learn how to use the
abacus in the first three grades"
he said. you can use a calculat-
ing machine in the higher
grades"
Youngsters who are trying his
method are using calculating
machines in classes ranging UP
from the fourth grade into high
school.
DR.. Schott said seven schools
in Milwaukee and Milwaukee
County, Wis, are engaged in an
experiment with the "abacus-
adding machine" method.
DR.. Schott said his method is
easter, faster and more inter-
eSting.
He said that tests show, for
example, that seventh graders
taught under his program ad-
