In every beginning class in geom-
etry are found a number of pupils
who have made up their minds that
there is no use in the study of geom-
etry and they have no intention of
mastering it Their only idea is to
do as little work as possible This
stand is taken because they have
heard in -the' home or elsewhere that
geometry is not a practical study and
consequently of little value to them
It is granted that the greater part
of the work in geometry has little
practical use in every day life except
for those who intend to fit themselves
for some engineering work where a
further knowledge of mathematics is
essential
Why then has this subject been
taught for twenty centuries and at
present is required in the curriculum
of practically every secondary school
I in' the world ? Because in the study
of geometry we find certain ( things
which are needed in every education
The practical value for certain stu-
dents has been given In addition to
this the classwork in geometry is
such that it trains the pupil to get up
before hiB fellow classmates put a
fact before them and in his own way
convince them that his method of so-
lution is correct and satisfactory
Thus is developed the ability to speak
to a group and present ideas in an
understandable and convincing man-
ner Probably the greatest benefit de-
rived from geometry however is the
power to reason or think in sour- !&'-
cal way Geometry -is a subjec:
Dustin team only to be tackled about
two yards trfim the goal line His
toe wag busy also for he kicked three
place kicks — two after touchdowns
and one from play thug adding five
much -needed points to our score
This might be considered somewhat
of a feat for it isn’t in every game
that a kicker pakes a perfect score (
with three or more chances
This week we play Prague at We-
leetka Nothing is known of the
strength of Prague but we do know
that in the past they have'always had
a strong team and judging from the
results we have been able to find
out this year they have another one
of those good teams We hear they
are not so large but fast which means
more than size as a rule
Next week we go to Beggs for a
return game'with them
