: Fourth MR" Has Been Added to Historic
Three of Education
By EMILY GARDNER MUNRO. Principal St. Margaret's School.
Watcrburu. Conn.
IT was a wise pedagogue who said that a fourth "r" had been added to
the historic three—meaning recreation. Our great-grandparents
little grasped the truth of the old adage which they so often quoted,
that '"'all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," for they gave no
heed to what play really meant or how under wise guidance it could bo
of inestimable benefit to the boy. They did not look upon play as a re
cuperative process, so that, after the whole body had been roused into
healthy activity, (ho mind could return to its set mental processes with
renewed vigor.
THEY RELEGATED PLAY TO THE SPARE HOURS AND LET THE
CHILDREN PURSUE IT AS THEY WOULD, ONLY THEY DREW A DE
j CIDED CONTRAST BETWEEN THE PLAY THAT WAS FIT FOR BOYS
AND THAT WHICH V/AS PROPER AND LADYLIKE FOR GIRLS. IT IS
j CHARACTERISTIC OF THE PERIOD THAT PROPER PLAY FOR BOYS
ALWAYS INVOLVED PHYSICAL STRENGTH—NAMELY, BALL, SWIM
MING, RACING, JUMPING, ETC.—WHILE PROPER PLAY FOR GIRLS
EMPHASIZED THE AESTHETIC VALUES, /^S BATTLEDORE AND SHUT
LtCOCK, GRAC.C HOOKS, etc., OR ELSE THEY PRACTICED FOR THE
FUTURE AND PLAYCD HOUSE OR MOTHERED THEIR DOLLS.
At the present iinic we are so accustomed to ihc idea of physical
education tVr girls that we forget how very modern is such a change.
We have on!\ |o re; <» the advertisements of the girls' schools to see hew
important a pail thU side of cducatioh now plays in the girl's life. Ev
ery up to d.:te sv hool has its fully equipped gymnasium. Many have
swimming pool.-; a 11 kinds of outdoor exercise are advocated; hockey,
tennis and even football have their regular place in the daily routine.

It's a Way the Russian Peasant
Has. and It's an Enigma.
A UNIQUE WAY TO MULTIPLY.
It Is Simplicity Itself and Absolutely
Accurate, but the Why and Where
fore of the Method and Its Result*
i Are a Puzzle to Mathematicians.
j This is not a- meaningless, freakj
I twister of a puzzle. But it is a puzzle.
It Is tbe met bod b.v which .Russian
j peasants multiply, and as yet the
j boasted mental superiority of America
, cannot solve the simple riddle of tbe
I Slav.
j Suppose y«'ii wnut to multiply two
numbers together. Divide one of the
numbers by 2, ignoring the frac
tions. Continue the process until the
divided column reaches one. Then dou
j ble the other number and continue the
| process until it equals in lines the first
| column. Then whenever a number is
even in the Urst column strike It out,
together with its corresponding num
ber in the second column. Add the sec
ond column, and, lo, the answer! Now,
why does it do it? There seems to be
no reason for it, but what is it? Can
you work it out?
It is infallible. It has never been
known to fail. But what principle of
mathematics is behind it all? Perhaps
it Is some queer freak of numbers,
some one says, hut such things are not j
to be turned aside with such generali
ties. Mathematics is uot built upon so
las a system. There is some rule be
hind it all.
Take the simple mulliple 12 by 10.
Obviously the answer is 120. Try it
the Russian way. Place 12 in the first
column and 10 in the second. Divide
12 by 2 and multiply 10 by it and place
the respects answers beneath the I
sums froui which they were derived.
It will stand G und 20. Dividing 0 by 2
equals 3, aud multiplying 20 by 2
equals 40. Continuing, 3 divided by 2
and throwing away all fractions will
be 1, while 40 multiplied by 2 will be
80. Now strike out nil the numbers in
tlie first column which are even and
with It their parallels in the second
column—12 and C will go out. leaving
the Inst two parallel results. Ignoring
the first column and adding the num
bers in the second, the answer will be
the result of 40 and SO, or 120.
The questions are: Who ever worked
it out? now did he start?
Now try working the problem by put
ting 10 in the first column and sub
jecting it to the dividing and 12 to the
multiplying. It will result like this:
Ten and 12 will become 5 and 24,
which will in turn be changed to 2 and
48 and finally into 1 and OG. Then,
striking out the numbers 10 and 2 with
their correspouding numbers 12 and
48. leaving the second column figures
24 and 00 to be added—this becomes
120.
There Is no escaping it No matter
bow large the score. It comes out right
with distressing surety. Take the odd
numbers. Perhaps there is some twist
in the scheme that applies to even
numbers. Take 25 and 15. Going
right down the column they become 12
and 30; then (J and GO; then 3 and 120;
then 1 and 240; 12 and G go out, taking
with tbeui 30 and GO. Add 15, 120 and
240. Answer, 375. Multiply 25 by 15 ac
cording to our methods. Correct—375.
Now, why is it that the even numbers
must be eliminated on the right side
wheu they do not count at all in the
addition?
It Is plain to be seen that all the
numbers in the second column will be
even, but by what freak of calculation
are thyse corresponding to the even
numbers in the first column of no con
sequence when the correct sum is to be
obtained?
WUere 110 even uuuiDer resuus in uc
first column, as iu 15 s 13. tliere is no
complication; 15 and 13 In the process
become T and 20. then 3 and 52 and
finally 1 and 104. Adding 13, 20. 52
nnd 10-4 equals 1D5, the correct sum.
There can be no multiplication In fig
ures which will divide down to a place
where there are no odd numbers, for
the final number must always of neces
sity be 1. In the sum 10 x 4, 16
divides itself into 8, 4. 2 and 1 succes
sively, while 4 becomes 8, 16, 32 and
C4. All of the pairs are crossed out,
with the exception of 1 and 04. In that
case the addition of the second column
will be 04.
Despite tbe puzzling nature of this
formula, there is some mathematical
principle by which it can be explained.
There is some rule awaiting the fertile
minds of tbe workers by which this
"stumper" can be demonstrated to be
simplicity itself.
Another quizzer: Why must frac
tions be discarded? How is it that the
result wilj. be true when several units
are cast aside? For example, consider
tbe number 47. Dividing by 2 the
result will be 23. One whole unit is
thrown away. Twenty-three becomes
by the same process 11, another unit
discarded. Eleven resolves itself into
5, making the third unit passed by. The
next step results in 2 and then 1, but
why is it that these three units count
for nothing?
The mere fact that the explanation
Is near, that tbe whole thing is simple
if the key can be found. Is one that
cannot help but draw attention to this
novel means of adding.—Philadelphia
