out of a literary production what we take to it. In other words, the amount of meaning it has for us is conditioned upon our power of comprehension. Thus a scholar's reading of a classic would mean a great deal more than that of a person who had slight education. In the light of this thought, literary selections can be used at various points in school work, each grade working out that phase which it is possible for it to understand. Thus, in the eighth year grades, a study of Julius Cæsar might bring out clearly all the details of the story. The study of the same play in the second year of high school might result in adding a clearer conception of the leading characters, with evidences from the facts of the story that the characters are of such a nature, while in the second year of the college course the work might center around the technique of the plot and the laws of dramatic effect. 6. There is knowledge in a book in the sense that the book contains the symbols which awaken trains of mental activity in the reader. ARITHMETIC. 1. A room is 30 feet long, 18 feet wide, and 12 feet high. It has two doors, 3 feet by 7 feet each, and three windows, each 3 feet by 5 feet, and a wainscoting 22 feet high. What will it cost to plaster the walls and ceiling of the room at 30 cents per square yard? 2. Most pupils seem to find great difficulty in solving problems similar to the above. How soon in the school life of the pupil would you assign such a problem? With what kind of problems would you lead them to a knowledge of the process necessary in the solution of one of such difficulty as this? 3. (a) I sell of a quantity of grain for what 3/4 of the entire quantity cost me. (b) I sell the remainder for what 1-10 of it cost me. Do I gain or lose in the end? What per cent. 4. Explain as you would to a class the difference between True Discount and Bank Discount. 5. I desire to draw $77.66 from bank. For what amount must I execute my note for six months in order to secure this amount, discount being 6 per cent.? 6. I sold a horse to A at a gain of 25 per cent. A sold it to B for a like gain. B sold it for $390 which netted him a profit of 25 per cent. What did the horse cost me? 1. 18 X 30=540, sq. ft. in ceiling. 30+30+18+18=96, combined length of 12-294, height to be plastered. 3 X5 X3=45, sq. ft. in three windows. gives $46 as the cost. 2. They should be ready for such problems when they have a knowledge of denominate numbers. Use the school-room as a concrete example. 3. In the two sales I recover for 1 of the cost, losing 2%, or 15%, 4. Interest is ordinarily paid at the expiration of a period, and true discount is based upon the present worth of a debt due at some future time. In true discount the present worth is the principal. In bank discount the borrower gives his note not merely for the amount he borrows, but for the interest as well. This is equivalent to paying interest in advance on the face of the note. The real difference is the interest on the true discount 5. Discount on $1 at 6% for 6 mos., 3 das. is $.03, and the proceeds would be $.961%. 1. The masseter and temporal muscles are muscles located in the cheek and on the temples, and mainly concerned in the process of mastication. 2. In its gross anatomy the femur consists of a shaft, a contained medullary cavity, and somewhat expanded terminal portions consisting mainly of cancellated bone. In its minute structure the femur shows the difficult arrangement into Haversian systems, lacunæ, and canaliculi. The lacunæ are arranged in concentric rings around the Haversian canal giving rise to the lamellæ. In the lacunæ lie the bone corpuscles, while protoplasmic extensions from these reach into the canaliculi. Blood-vessels, nerves and connective tissues occur in the Haversian canal itself. 3. The Dura mater and Pia mater are investing membranes of the brain and spinal cord. The Pia mater next to the nervous tissue carries the bloodvessels, while the Dura mater is a protecting membrane, and in the cranium serves as the periosteum for the cranial bones. 4. In the spinal cord the white matter is on the outside, while the gray matter is on the inside, so arranged that a cross-section of the same appears like the letter H. In the brain the white matter is on the inside, while the gray matter forms the cortex. 5. The blood is the circulating medium of the body, consisting of the liquid plasma, which cʊntains in solution the various nutritive substances, and the solid corpuscles. Of these corpuscles the red are concerned in the carrying of oxygen, the small blood-plates, and the process of coagulation, and the white corpuscles in a number of ways, the most important of which is possibly the role they play in removing germs. 6. Lymphatic glands are aggregations of white corpuscles invested more or less fully in connective tissue, and traversed by lymphatics. In them the white corpuscles originate; they are distributed all over the body, but occur regularly in the tonsils, thymus gland, patches of Peyer, etc. 7. The heart-beats and the respiratory action are correlated in the circumstance that, first, the contraction of the heart will increase the available space in the chest, and so induce an additional expansion of the lungs. Second, the distended lungs in their continued tendency to collapse exert a sucking action upon the heart when the heart is in diastole, and so help to fill the heart. 8. By tidal air is meant the quantity of air (about thirty cubic inches) which in an ordinary breath we take into the lungs. The complemental air is the amount of air (about 100 cubic inches) which can be taken into the lungs in addition to THE HOUSE NÆER 3 at an ordinary inspiration.

Give a brief synopsis of the seventh year geography work as outlined in the state course of study. 4. Why is Alaska so valuable to the United States? What is its form of government? 5. What countries constitute the three great peninsulas of southern Europe: Historically, which is the most interesting? Why? 6 Name in order of importance the six principal seaports of the United States. A 1. Trade-winds blow from the tropics, calms toward the equator, and are deflected westward by the rotation of the earth. They are so-called because they follow a constant or trodden path. They are caused by the belt of low pressure due to high temperature near the equator and the belts of high pressure near the tropics, due to the polar whirl. the merge zi vode staine.

Since so large a part of our rains come from the Gulf of Mexico an east and west range of considerable height would intercept these and tend to render the section north of the range barren. The section south of the range would be protected from harsh northern winds, and being at the same time better watered, the vegetation would be more luxuriant than now. 7.

Language is the means by which we express ideas and thoughts by means of written, printed, or spoken symbols. A word is a symbol or sign by which we express an idea. It may be written or spoken. A syllable is an elementary sound or combination of elementary sounds uttered together, or at a single effort or impulse of the voice and constituting a word or part of a word. The name is also applied to the letter or letters standing for such an elementary sound. A letter is a symbol representing a sound. 2. Gender is a property of substantive words. Sex is an attribute of living things. 3. Nouns whose last sound will unite with s form their plural by adding s to the singular; e. g., Bird, birds. Nouns ending in o preceded by a vowel form their plural by adding s; e. g., folio, folios. Nouns ending in o preceded by a consonant form their plural by adding es to the singular; e. g., negro, negroes. Nouns ending in for fe change f to v and add es; e. g., wife, wives. 4. Adjective. 1.
