Too many pupils look upon mathematics as a grind or as mere mental gymnastics, but when one sees the practical application ot the problems he works to the fob for which he is preparing, mathematics becomes a fascinating subject. It is from this angle that the teachers at Springfield High try to present their subject. College authorities tell us that students ot science tail more frequently because of weakness in mathematics than tor any other reason. During World War ll boys from the armed forces were quick to report to their friends at home the advantageS of thorough preparation in geometry, algebra, and trigonometry. Such worcl sent pupils scurrying into both advanced courses and remedial work. During the first semester of this year all senior students were given the Ohio State Screening Test in Mathematics and those who were tound not to be up to standard were required to take remedial work in the particular type of math suited to his course.
