W. W 7 i 'I S 4 'I N s R. LEROY COUNTRYMAN MATHEMATICS HEREIN we ascend to halo heights in pursuit of circles and descend to the practical walks in banking. Combinations and mystic permutations pucker the brow of many a serious-minded follower of the cult of numbers. In the technique of teaching mathe- matics we are exposed to the secrets of the presenta- tion of such basis principles as the Austrian method of subtraction. Many a student seeks wildly for the elusive infor- mation concerning the inside workings of a broker's office for the foundation of a proj ect. Newspaper ads lose their appeal as they cease 1 to be the source of bargains ' in favor of the dry terms of discount.

All of them are of the lively ages found in the second, third and fourth grades. The playground is strangely deserted during study hours in contrast to the noisy activity of other times. It is hard to visualize this yard surrounded bya heavy rail fence with two large turnstiles as entrances 3 yet in the early part of the nineteenth century these were in evidence. How different the interior of this cobblestone DOROTHY H, WYCKOFF school from the days when tiers of benches lined the sides of the room and flog- ging was in vogue! Today we think of it as being the dis- tance of a pleasant walk to another building of our mod- ern Practice School.

SONYEA EACH year more girls do their practice teaching at Sonyea and they all leave singing its praises. Glenny Hall, the new dormitory, seems to symbolize the x Z S 52 Q Q spirit of the place. Faculty and students live together S D as one big family. Critics and students enjoy bridge 9 ' as well as knotty problems of education, and often Q Z the new dormitory is the scene of an impromptu Z party. Above all, the shiny new furniture must not Q f be marred, so tea is served on someone's trunk.
