NEWS OF JUNIOR HIGH Why study modern math? . . . because the Jones' children are learning modern mathematics in their school? No, . . . because it teaches a child to understand and to enjoy mathematics. It teaches children to see the beauty of mathematics and to answer the time old question, "why?". But you say that you did not learn modern mathematics and that you feel you were educated properly. One goes out and buys new cars because of the latest gadgets on them. In fact, one gave up the horse and buggy age back at the turn of the century for the development of science. It seems that to keep up with the trend of science, one should change some of the ancient traditions of the classroom. Next, how is modern mathematics different to what you learned back in. school? The topics learned are practically the same. Maybe some of the stories in "story problems" have changed with the times, but they are similar. A child still learns to add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers, fractions, and decimal numbers. He still learns to work with percentages, work with area, perimeter, and volume, and still learns to work problems in regard to daily situations. The difference is ' in the teaching methods. No longer is a child expected to memorize fact after fact. He is now taught to learn a generalization to use today, but more important, a generalization that can be used tomorrow. He is learning new woHs. He might use such words as commutative, associative, distributive which are just words to describe some of the principles we have been using for many years. These words are no different than astronauts, space ships, etc., that have been introduced into children's vocabulary since you were a student. So, why study modern mathematics . . . because it is better for your child.

The tel- "Charlie Green's" Ten-Year Tax History Has Many Parallels A typical U.S. citizen. "Charlie Green", earning $10,000 a year, pays approximately 29 percent ol such income in taxes to federal, state and local governments. Total taxes of $2,897 are paid on Charlie's $10,000 annual income for his family of four -- husband, wife and two children. Ilis v$10,000 yeArly income is $2,000 more than the average U.S. family of lour receives. The total tax bill breaks down this way: Federal, $1,527; state, $381; local. $989. The big tax bitu represents about 29 percent of Charlie's annual stipend. Ten years ago, in 19.i.i. when Charlie was earning $6,800 a year, his total tax was $1.6.")5. jusl 2"4.o percent of his income. In a period of ten years, his share of the cost of government now takes nearly 5 percent more of his income than it did in 1955. There is little occasion for, surprise in the increase in Charlie's taxes in view of general government tax increases over the period. In 1955 all government was collecting about $88' billion, or about $537 per American. This year, 1965, taxes of all government are estimated at $169 billion, or approximately $872 per person. Federal tax collections have increased from $63 billion in 1955 to an estimated $116 billion for 1965, while federal spending has risen from $73 billion level in 1955 to an estimated $134 billion for 1965. The Social Security picture (a part of the total picture) has felt such increases. In 1955 Charlie was paying $84 for social security taxes at a rate of 2 percent on the first $4,200 of his wages. This year, 1965, it is calculated that he will be paying $174 at a rate of 3\'x percent, on the first $4,800 of his wages. 'ephone number is 385-8063. The Cub Scou$s snd thett* leaders delivered more than 14,000 Good Turn Day bags in McHenry county during the past two weeks.
