base is a polygon and whose sides are triangles. (A poly

gon is a plane figure bounded by three or

more straight lines.

A cone has a circle for a
base and a curved surface
which comes to a point (Fig-

ure I). A right cone is a cone whose
altitude meets the base in the center,
otherwise it is an oblique cone (Figure
II). Is an ice cream cone right or
oblique? For these figures we have
the following formulas :

Spheres.

[blocks in formation]

The sphere is one of the most familiar solids. It is a solid whose surface at all points is equally

r

distant from a point within called the center. You have often called a sphere simply a "ball." Give several examples of spheres.

Where r is the radius of the sphere the surface may be found by the formula

(Area

=

4 times square of radius)

The volume may be found by the formula

Getting a Job

When employers "look you up," they ask about your qualities of speed, dependability, self-reliance, honesty, and coöperation. Some day any one of these qualities or all of them will determine the contents of your pay envelope or the size of your pay check.

You have heard the saying, "Honesty is the best policy." It pays to acquire also habits of speed, dependability, self-reliance, and coöperation. They all pay big dividends in money, in the esteem of friends, and in your own self-respect.

Every one of these qualities can be acquired by effort and persistence. Employers do not ask whether you can acquire them. They ask whether you have made habits of them.

In the following five sets of practice exercises (practice = habit) try to score 100% in the qualities of a good workman.

The Habit of Speed

A Time Test by Executive Committee. Are you a fast workman? Test yourself by practice in addition. Let your Executive Committee first take the test to fix a standard time for your class. While they are doing this, you copy the examples on a sheet of paper. Start adding and writing the answers when the chairman says, "Begin." When the time is up, he will say, "Stop." If you are not satisfied with the result, try again.

Keep at it in out-of-class hours until you are satisfied.

An Accuracy Test by Yourself. Are you a dependable workman? Test yourself by practice in subtraction. Let your Executive Committee plan how this test will be taken, how scored, and how coaching will be given. Each one should do his own scoring.
