Times have changed since Father went to school. We use new formulas and methods that he didn't know about. The basic reason for studying Mathematics is the same now as when our folks went to school. Vie still hear how it teaches us to reason and understand things not pertaining to mathe- matics. The boys in our classes who want to be engineers or technicians really have to learn the rules and not just the fundamentals of thinking. We know Mathematics is use- ful, but the problems are still hard. Q 'ffm ' lVaulcvshu lligh Svhoalls ak! Pwdlem
