CARROLL: & 80 W YaNGsieY & aou."‘p'n‘.fia"g NORWICH TOWN it I Men’s League Holds May Meeting— Informing Address by Principal Hen- ry A. Tirrell—Pupil ,Jfllll School Garden Club, The Men's league nr.hered Monday evening at the First Congregational chapel for the May meeting, the last of the season. President H. L. Yer- rington called the meeting to order. The reports of the April meeting were read by the secretary and treasurer. Two new members ‘were admitted by vote. This being the annual meeting, the same officers were re-elected as the term of office has been so short. It was voted to give H. T. Frazier, chairman of the executive committee, the power of substitution, as he wishes to resign. The league is to be invited to join the Men's leagues at Park church May 28, when they will be ad- dressed by the secretary of the com- mission on federated movements on the subject The Real Task for Real Men. Pflnci-pnl H. A. Tirrell then gave a most interesting address, taking for his subject Curiosities of Numbers, and using the blackboard in {llustra- tion of different points. ~ There might be a question as to the most wonder- ful inventions, he-began. One would have to trace back to hundreds of other inventions for the basis of one. The most wonderful things are the moest common things about us. Take a book, its cover is the result of years of study and experiment, it includes the invention of printing, and the dis- covery of interesting subject matter. The invention I am going to talk about is the multiplication table. Its his- tory goes back beyond the times of the pyramids. The problem of using Ro- man numerals in multiplication was the quesction in Europe before the 13th century. The counting board and the decimal system had its weakness. In the Thames bank in London twice each year accounts were made up. In- genuity was used in place of mechan- jcal ekill. They had a decimal sys- tem without using Arabic numbers. A plece of yood with parts cuf out rep- resented different amounts of money owed, the receipt was kept by the king. They never drifted into our system of multiplication. This came by way of the Mohammedan civilization. To a Roman 3 ones meant 3, to us 3 ones means 111. One of the great discov- eries of the world was the discovery of zero, 0. ‘We think all the time in numbers; they are older and more necessary than letters; the invention of steam does not compare with the invention of Arabic numbers, which is a won- derful machine in itself. Short cuts in squaring numbers and in multiplying numbers were shown. Also how sav- ages multiply with their fingers. He clcsed by saying mathematicians know these rules for shortening processes which are not in ordinary use. The lecture was much appreciated by the members of the league, Amateur Baseball. The Bear Cats of Taftville have or- ganized for the coming season and have rounded up a fast aggregation which expects to out figures on the Dbaseball diamond this summer. Dugas, Chance, Gley, Germain and White have signed. The Bear Cats challenge any team in eastern Connecticut for a se- ries of games.
