‘Arithmetic Bazar ’ Is Staged by School 36

Pupils Employ Knowledge of Numbers in Every Branch of Trade. Knowledge of numbers was the only ticket for admittance to an unique entertainment sponsored by arithmetic classes at School No. 26, at 2901 North Capitol avenue, today. They called it the arithmetic bazar. Repetition of the multiplication tables by a chorus of childish voices might be a humdrum of noises to the average listener, but it is music to ears of teachers at the school. Long hours had been spent in classrooms manipulating digits in preparation for today’s event at which the bright boys, who love arithmetic, had a chance to “show off." The chief objective of the bazar was to provide opportunity for the pupils to display their mathematical experience, but the presence of booths and specialty salesmen gave the event the flavor of an “old settler’s,” picnic. Pupils used their arithmetic knowledge in all phazes of preparation for the event. They kept accurate accounts of every penny spent in construction of booths', and getting articles ready for sale. The school bank slogan of wise and economic spending was brought into use. Other departments of the school aided in the event. Domestic science classes sold candy and cookies, and at one booth, pupils interested in study of milk and its use for health assumed the roles of milkmaids and sold milk. At laundry, toy and Christmas novelty booths the manual training, art and sewing classes exhibited their wares. Every part of the school was represented, but those who knew their numbers ruled the day. All profits were checked and

handled by the arithmetic classes, who had charge of all finances. For those who had to build booths “on time,” the school bank took promissory notes, payable when the bazar was ended. For pupils it was a lot of fun, but for teachers it was an enterprise by which they taught the children accuracy, neatness, reliability, initiative and business sagacity.

CITY SCHOOLS GET IN STRIDE FOR CAMPAIGN 70,000 Pupils Respond to Appeal of Tuberculosis Association. School rooms of Indianapolis and Marion county took on a Christmas seal atmosphere this week, as 70,000 pupils answered the appeal of the Marion County Tuberculosis Association for assistance in making the 1929 Christmas Seal and health bond sales a success. Co-operation of teachers and health authorities in acquainting school children with the purpose and necessity of the communitywide campaign against the malady, is being accomplished in various ways. Over four millioh seals were sold in Marion county last year, and leaders of the association are expecting to go beyond this figure in the present campaign. Profits from the 1928 sales totaled $40,233. School papers this month are publishing articles on the subject and organizations in the high and grade schools are devoting time to health problems. Teachers are reading health stories to the younger children and giying instruction regarding tl.e international fight against disease. Class rooms in some schools have been decorated with Christmas Seal posters and materials in harmony with the campaign. In the second, third and fourth grades a series of “Seal Sale Stories” are being used as regular lessons in reading, while methods of health protection are being taught pupils
