Batting Averages For Schools
Baseball batting averages and
other sporting statistics are being
used successfully with backward
students of mathematics in1 the
Newton Technical school of Bon-
ton
They give the si ndents an in-
terest in the work that could not
otherwise be stimulated, accord-
ing to a report from the head of
the mathematics department.
Students who cannot be persuad-
ed to attempt even the most ordi-
nary problem where beans or up
pies or dollars are Concerned will
try almost anything that has a
baseball player mixed up with it.
This strikes us as an excellen
idea It is so excellent, in fact,
that its application should not be
limited either to backward pupils
or to mathematics. Why not
make education in all its branches
irt'-resting to the boy; by utiliz-
ing the popular interest in base

Many pupils go to sleep over their

And no wonder. With its monot-

kings, presidents, leading events,
dates, history, as presented to the
young and expanding mind, is
generally little more than a col-
lection of dry bones.
But inoculate it with baseball
interest, how quickly it bright-
ens lives, becomes altogether en-
thralling. What male pupil—
what adult male even—would not
feel that history was really worth
while if it were treated somewhat
in this fashion.
