at Chester School

CHESTER - Increased em
phaSis on revising the curri-
culum to meet the pressing
needs of today's living has
given rise to a new course in
mathematics at West Geauga
high school. Twenty senior
students, who have S h o w n
proficiency in previous ma
thematics courses, were Sc
lected for this course, Ad :
vanced Algebra.
Mr.. Andrew Davis, head of
the mathematics department
and instructor of the course,
explains that this came a :
bout, in part, as a suggestion
of the National Council Of
Mathematics. They have in
dicated that the content of
this course should be requir-
ed material for all college :
bound high school students !.
Satisfactory understanding
of the course material" adds
Mr.. Davis, will also enable
high school students to qua

NEW YORK, Dec 8 : Judg-
ing from the way the use of
electricity is increasing in
the Chardon region, the local
standard of living is still on
the rise.
The two are associated, say
the economists. AS consump-
ton of electricity goes up, so
does the other. Locally, it ap-
pears, electric consumption
per capita is at an all time
high.
Facts and figures on the
demand for current and on
the cost of service are pro-
vided in surveys made by
the Federal Power Commits
sion, by the Edison Electric
Institute and by others.
The size of electric bills in
each of 4,772 communities in
the United States, as of jan
uary /, this year. provides a
basis for comparison.
In Chardon, the FPC stat
es, the price for 100 kilowatt
hours of electricity, an a.
mount sufficient for small
lighting and appliance needs,
came to $3.52 per month.
In the rest of the country,
the average monthly bill for
that quantity was 1898.
For $50 kilowatt hours
which covers lighting, cook
ing, refrigeration and small
appliances, local residents
paid $6.97 a month. The aver
age cost elsewhere was $7.36.
For those households in
Chardon using 500 kilowatt
hours a month, the typical
bill was $10.72, as compar-
ed with $10.51 nationally.
Many electric companies
have been increasing their
rates gradually in the last
few years, in contrast to the
Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1959-12-10

it could be a wonderful as
set to the agriculture socie-

the county, but voted unan-
imously to table the propos-
al at some future date that
will give them ample time to
study the proposed plans and
be assured of some means of
financing the construction of
such a building.

Chardon Above Average
in Use Of Electricity

reducing process that h a d
been in effect since 1882,
when electricity became a .
vailable for home use at "a

In the early days of elec-

given away free by the utili-
ties to increase power u S e.
With enough irons in the
hands of its customers, an ell

While the course is design

made to revise the e n tir e
mathematics program at w.
Geauga SO that each student
will be able to progress In
mathematics as best he can.
For this, a three track pro-
gram is being devised.
The regular course is that
which is now in existence, in
which the student progressi-
vely works up from math,
through algebra and geome-
try, into trigonometry.

The advanced course spe-
eds up the students progress
so that the above mention
ed material is completed at
the end of the junior year,
leaving advanced algebra for
senior study.
IA third course is being de-
signed for those who do not

working to develop the pro-
