of the effect of the falling drops was the first
impulse received by the mind; drawing is part
ly of what we saw, but, because now we are free
to do what we wish with our instruments we
can show ourselves how far we may go using
them
Drawing two families of concentric circles
is easy enough. To pair them up according to
different ideas may lead US to new faScina-
ton, since we can develop new sight that sees
the potential. and not only the actual For in
stance, there was no straight line in our draw
ing. but we could see one If we marked the
points where the circles of equal radius Of
each family cut each other. These points are,
in fact. aligned. But what will happen If, in
stead of equal circles. we pair those whose
sum of the radi is equal to chosen length?
By simply marking them, we generate ellipses.
and many as we WISH according to our
choice of the length. If, instead of pairing up
by sum, we pair up by difference, we find
hyperbolae. those majestic lines that run to
infinity. And of course, many more things
lump out of these two simple families of con-
centric circles.
Indeed that is why we should study mathe
matcs: because it educateS in everyone OF us
the third eye, an eye capable of scrutinzing
relationships in themselves, capable Of find
ing in the most ordinary situation something
worthy of note and capable of indefinite ex
panSion. Infinity is the realm of mathematics,
and mathematicians are those among us who
make it available to all. AS soon you notice
relationships, you notice that you have taken
some flights that are proof of a new power in
your mind, as we'll as an opening to infinity
You tell yourself, for instance, that if some
thing is twice as big as something else, at the
same time the second thing is half the first
ling in itself. you at once that you can
double double, double and, inversing it,
halve. halve, halve, etc. The process of dou-
bling indefinitely increases magnitude indefi-
ntely, while havng reduces magnitude, also
indefinitely The infinitely large and the inf
nitely small are reached at one and the same
time.
deeper senses in US because both maintain us
in contact with the mystery of the ever chang
ing, of the uniformed yet formed and subtle.
When you really understand mathematics
as the natural approach to the universe Of ex-
perience in which things are simplified by the
not part of the immediate situation under con-
sideration, and in which relationships of es-
sential attributes are stressed, you cannot fail
to see that it is your interest to develop that
power in you, and serve your future by being
better equipped in that way.

arithmetic had shown little to the effect that
one day mathematics for me would be full
time occupation. But one day the teacher put
to us test in which there was geometry prob
lem and SdW that if dropped perpendic-
ular from one point to one line, everything in
the question became obvious None of my class
mates saw it. and the test did not count be-
cause Of that In fact, what had proved was
that the problem was easy, but its easlnesS re-
suited from vision and not from memory. AS
most people believe that learning is memori-
zng they refuse to agree that to see is easy, or
even easier than memorizing.
For me Uhen 13), il was turning point
had come to understand that mathematics
was something of the mind, resulting from the
inner movement of the Imagination coupled
with experiences that became deeper and
deeper as one grew in them Teachers and
books facilitate the meeting of significant and
interesting challenges, but in fact, mathe-
mates is all around and can be found to be
so by everyone of u.s. provided we develop the
sort of senstivity that corresponds to 1t.
Let us look at a drop of water falling at
the center of a bucket full of water 1t creates
a ripple that is circle whose radius grows un-
til it reaches the walls of the bucket. If the
drops fall in sequence, they create success
sion of concentric circles that make fascina-
ting design. such that you cannot stop looking
at them. But if the drop falls nearer the wall
of the bucket. the design gets much more COM
plcated, for now the first circle is reflected by
a curved surface and interfereS with the next
one.
The ordinary eye enjoys the game OF the
waves The mathematical eye asks: What is
it exactly that see. and what shall l see if
move the drop nearer and nearer to the wall
or if let drop fall at various rhythms, or
more than one drop at time? More than this
as the mathematical eye operates within the
mind the imagination is left free to bring in
it's contributions Instead of actually trying
out the experiment, this is done on piece of
paper with a few Of the simple instruments
like pencil, ruler compasses. So much less
is required now than in the carrying on OF
actual experiment. Try it for yourself Do not
forget that the fascination Of the observation

police are still mystified as tc
the cause of death and how he

Gated he had been dead for
about 70 hours, placing time OF
death sometime on Wednesday

Highway departments of the

now have a total of about $43
million of new Federal funds
with which to advance pro-
grams as soon as they wish.
This was made possible yes
terday when Commerce Secre-
tary Mueller announced i'm

S718 million in highway money
originally intended for diStri-
button after January.
OF this amount the District
will receive $6.5 million, Vir-
ginia $23.7 million and Mary
land $12.7 million.
Directors of the three de-
partments involved said plans
would be studied to determine
whether construction would be
stepped up.
Mr.. Mueller said the third
quarter allotment is a part of
the total made available to the
States for fiscal 1861 and does
not represent an increase for
the fiscal year.
A total of $2.3 billion now has
been made available to the

Matthew M. Witenstein,
chairman Of the economic de-

county Chamber of Commerce,
urged that the plan be shelved
until planners could devote
more study to economic growth
in the county. The proposal has
been developed, he said, "out
of the context of the economic
growth of the county"

the Suburban Maryland Build
ers' Association, called the plan
premature and inevitably out

ticularly highways.
