Delphians Told Of
Cuisenaire Math
Delphian Club members and
their husbands were entertained
Tuesday evening, March 3 by Alex
Crowder, grade school principal,
as "he told them of the Cuisenaire
method of teaching math, intro
duc-ed in the local school this
year The meeting was held in
the fellowship hall of First Meth
odist Church with Mms. Cecil
W. Fletcher and John Bell ser-
ving as hostesses.
The program was preceded by
a covered dish supper served to
club members and their hus-
bands. The invocation preceding
the meal was given by H D.
Bryant.
Mrs. Bryant, club president,
welcomed the guests and pre-
sented the speaker for the eve-
ning. As she presented the speak-
er she noted that he has been

a member of Archer City School’s
faculty for the past four years,
serving as head football coach
the first year and as grade school
principal for the remaining three
years.
Crowder said that the Cuisen
aire method of teaching math
was introduced into the local sys-
tem this school year He told
those present that tittle advance-
ment has been made in the field
of math in a number of years
until recently.
Crowder gave each person
present a set of "rods" and ex-
plained how students are taught
to use them He said that first
and second grade students did
not associate the rods with num-
bers at the first of school but,
now, have begun to work with
numbers, with fractions having
already been introduced to first
and second graders. Under the
old system of teaching math,
fractions are usually not intro-
duced until a student reaches
the fourth or fifth grade.
Crowder pointed out that the
“rods" can be used indefinitely
in teaching math, that they are
as adaptable to higher math as
they are to teaching beginners
the fundamentals of it.
There were twenty-five mem
bers and guests attending the
meeting.
The next regular meeting of
the Delphian Club will be a
guest day program March 17 in
Faith Memorial Baptist Church
with Mmes. Ben Fulton, Don
Coleman and J. W. Sturgeon as
hostesses.

Colorful Road
Map Ready
New Highway Maps Out-
Brand new colorful 1964 official
Texas highway maps now are
available on request.
Texas Highway Department
has made every effort to produce
a more readable and convenient
map. Type faces are bolder, and
the national standard system of
highway symbols has been fol-
lowed in nearly all instances.
Almost 7.000 miles of farm-to-
mafket roads were deleted be-
cause of increasing complexity
of the Texas highway system.
Communities of less than 250
are not shown.
New map includes Ranch Road
No. 1. It’s the four-mile loop in
Gillespie County leading from
U. S. 290 to the ranch home of
President Johnson.
Free maps may be obtained
from the Travel and Information
Division of the Highway Depart-
ment in Austin.

Ten Texas investor-owned elec
trie utility companies, including
Texas Electric Service Company,
announced in Austin today spon-
sorship of a major research pro-
gram in atomic energy to be con-
ducted initially at the University
of Texas and Texas A&M Uni-
versity.
The ten utility companies com-
prise the membership of the Tex-
as Atomic Energy Research
Foundation. The initial phase of
the research program will carry
a commitment of $325,000. Ulti-
mately the Foundation may sup-
port a total of $540,000 in nu-
clear research in Texas.
Beeman Fisher, president of
Texas Electric and a director of
the Texas Atomic Energy Re-
search Foundation, was present
at a luncheon at the Driskill Ho-
tel when the announcement of
the research program was made.
The research projects at the
University of Texas and Texas
A&M will complement a program
of nuclear fusion research which
has been under way since 1957
under the joint sponsorship of
the Foundation and the General
Atomic Division of General Dy-
namics Corporation in San Diego,
Calif.
The research program seeks to
harness the thermonuclear (fu-
sion) reaction—the source of
power of the hydrogen bomb—
for the eventual economical gen-
eration of electricity. The pro-
ject is the world’s first and lar-
gest program in controlled nu-
clear fusion research financed
entirely by private industry.
C. A Tatum, Jr., of Dallas,
president of the Foundation, an-
nounced that the initial stages of
the research programs at the
two institutions would be sup-
ported up to a total of $325,000,
to be disbursed during 1964, 1965
and 1966. OI this amount, $245,-
000 will go to the University of
Texas for two projects and $80,-
000 to Texas A&M for one pro-
ject.
