PRESIDENT LINFORD's PAPER.
President James II. Linford, Of the b.
Y College Of Logan, was TO have read
a paper on Nature study in Public
Schools. What Shall it Embrace and
How shall 1t be Taught?' but being
absent his paper was read by presi-
ueht j. II, Paul, Of the Latter-day
SAINTS college. The paper held that all
teachers acknowledge the necessity OF
nature study tn the schools And the
writer held that of all the three arts.
Ihe study OF nature was the most inn
poftaht. The purpose OF nature study
is 10 give The pupil an insight into ma

In science teaching it is desirable that

The paper was followed with another
selection from the mandolin and guitar
class.
The discussion upon the paper was
opened by Prof George H. Marshall. Of
the Wasatch academy a Mt. Pleasant
he thought that II the teacher had the
love Of nature In his heart he would

The speaker held that the common

ant Why was it? There was no
confidence, consequently there Was
stagnation everywhere
Concerning the money question the
speaker said that he carried a silver
dollar with him all thru his tour of
the old country and at no place would
they receive it, but advised him to
take it to the money changers. When
he offered gold piece, the foreigners
asked no questions, but on the con-
trary were eager to get it. This
proved that gold was the money of
the world and that silver is for change
for ourselves. Mr.. Manning exhibited
disc of silver which he purchased in
New York July for 4S cents which
contains exactly as much silver as
there is in the silver dollar and is of
the standard of fineness. In the other
hand he held up silver dollar, the
only difference being that one was
stamped by the government and the
other was not. Somebody must stand
ready to preserve the integrity of the
coined dollar. The government is big
but even it has limit and cannot
maintain the parity of this dollar with
every other in case all the silver in the
world is dumped in upon us and we
guarantee to say that it shall be worth
100 cents.
"Mr. organs said," continued the
speaker, that if the gold standard was
fixed that people would not be able to
make deposits in the banks but would
be compelled to draw it out to live
upon. I have looked this matter up
and find there was deposited in the
banks of Wapello county, including
the city of Ottumwa, in the month OF
September, 1896, $1,351 1888. l Thought
of what Bryan had said and wanted to
know how much was on deposit now
Last month the banks Of this county
contained $2,734,2S0, or in other words
have just doubled. / want you to
give credit for this to republican adj
ministration'-and the lights went
out, ashamed that the ayowed head OF
| democracy should make such predic-
ton when the actual results show just
| the other extreme.
The audience and Mr.. Manning pa
tiently waited for the electricity to
resume business, but it failed to do
so and the meeting was dismissed
after DR.. Powell had stated that there
would be meeting of the Mckinley
and Roosevelt marching club this
evening for the purpose of completing
its organization.
