``The time may not be very remote when it will be understood that
for
complete initiation as an efficient citizen of one of the new great
complex world wide states that are now developing, it is as necessary to
be
able to compute, to think in averages and maxima and minima, as it is now
to be able to read and to write."

will help.

set the pace of the course. If no one shows up, the course just moves
faster and faster.
