TALKS OF THE EVENING.
Paul, BrimhaIl and Brown Present
Many New Ideas

Three topics were presented at the
evening meeting. which was the clos
ing one of the session. The first was
a scholarly paper by J. N Paul on
The Home and Higher Education"
Professor Paul took the ground, held
by most of the writer's on the subject,
that the apparent discrepancy between
the establishing of homes and the
seeking of higher education is only a
temporary condition, and that this con-
dition must give place to better one
in which higher education viii be
found to be compatible with homes and
matrimony. Professor Paul touched.
not without humor, on the question OF
the marriage OF teachers, and sought
to show that the reason for the greater
proportion of marriages among men
teachers than among women of the
same profession was due TO the man
being more easily satisfied in his search
for a mate.
Professor G.. H. BrimhaII of Provo
followed with a brief talk on The
Function of knowledge in Education, .
claiming that a certain amount OF
knowledge Of both good and evil is
necessary before one can be said to be
gaining an education. knowledge. the
speaker characterized as a mental GER

be incorrect or correct. There are two

Ure.
Albert Sidney Brown of the Brown
School of Correspondence was next in
troduced by the president and spoke
on the value of correspondence schools
in general, urging the teachers ts
broaden their lives with whatever OF
knowledge they could obtain. His adj
dress was largely a humorous one and
although limited in time. Mr.. Brown
made strong plea for a broader edu-
cation for the masses, for whom, he
said, the correspondence sch, DIS ex-
list Mr. Brown told many experiences
and related many anecdotes which elu-
cidated his talk.
Fine music was furnished for the
evening by two pupils of the Brigham
Young university at Provo under the
direction of their teacher, Professor
Anthem Lund. At the close of the pro
gramme the session adjourned to meet
next year.

PLAN FOR SELLING BONDS.
Mayor Morris Intends to Save the
City Interest.


City Interest.
Mayor Morris is considering a plan
for issuing the water and sewer bonds
by which he hopes 10 save the city
considera BILE interest. The idea is 20
issue the bonds as the money is needed
for the prosecution of the work. This
can be done, il is thought BY calling
for bids for the entire 81 000. 600 worth
of bonds at the one time, the bidders to
understand that the bonds are TO be
issued at the pleasure OF the city It
has been suggested that $3.50 600 might
be issued in ninety days and another
S250. 900 in ninety days thereafter. and
so on as the money is needed. In this
way the 100000 for the government
work at Utah lake could be held back
drawing no interest till the govern
ment called for the money.
BY selling the entire $1,000. 000 worth
at the one time the mayor understands
that a better rate of interest can be Sc
cured The understanding that the city
is TO hold part OF the bonds back till
the money is needed VIII not be con
sidered a serious objection by bond

RUSSIANS At SCHOOL IN JAPAN
Novel Treatment Of Seventy Thousand
Enemies Who Were Captured by
Japanese Army and Navy.

1t is a very peculiar story that comes
from the Far East, where, according
to Trustworthy information, the Japa-'
nese government has organized a
regular program of educational work
for the benefit OF the more than sew
enty thousand Russian prisoners nowi
scattered over Japan. The Japanese,
have addressed themselves to their,
task in their usual methodical and |,
business.like way. A complete census
of the prisoners was first taken, the !
Russians, Poles and Jews being sepa-
rated. Then the illiterate, mostly!
Russians, were formed into classes, !
which were placed under teachers Sc
lected from among the best educated
of the prisoners. under Japanese super
visors. In addition, more advanced
educational work was undertaken, in,
struction being impaired in Russian.
and Polish. And here it may be re-
marked that some of the Polish pris-i
oners have jokingly remarked that it,
has been necessary for them to come
all the way to Japan to learn their own
tongue, which is under ban at home.
The plans of the progressive little
Japs for the intellectual and moral
improvement of their prisoners have
succeeded beyond expectations. Even,
the amusements afforded the captivesl
are OF an instructive character Books,
and newspapers are liberally provided:
and plays are represented in the
camps, in which japanese actors per-
form historical pieces, generally in
culcating the fundamental virtues, pat.
riotism above all.
The treatment of the prisoners
taken in battle can hardly be described
as adding Insult to injury, though
some of the Russian authorities might
be inclined to consider it that way,
And it is difficult to determine just
what the purpose of the Japanese Isl
in this work which is certain to have
q powerful influence upon Russian do
nestle affairs in the near future.
Can 1t be that Japan is deliberately
inoculating her prisoners with the,
microbes Of education and patriotism
for the purpose of spreading them
abroad through the Russian empire.l
or is 1t merely good natured and
humanitarian effort to provide occupa-
ton for the captives during their en-t
forced idleness?-Pueblo Cheftain.

FEAR FOR NIAGARA
IMMENSE VOLUME OF WATER
DIVERTED FROM FALLS.
Commercial Enterprises are Making
Heavy Drains on This Famous Show
Piace-its Tremendous Electrical
Power the Indueement.

Niagara Falls, August THE
volume of water being diverted
from the historic Niagara Falls is
reaching such proportions that the
people Of the State are trying to pass
laws which will prevent the possibil-
ity of a practical wiping out of this
sublime natural spectacle.
Water SUFFICIENT to develop nearly
Ave hundred thousand horsepower
continuously, twenty-four hours per
day, for industrial purposes, is now
being taken from the river above the
Falls, and further developments re-
Quiring more water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user of the
electricity produced by the waters of
by the five or six thousand degree
heat OF the electric furnace brings
lime and coke into unwilling union,
thereby producing what is known as
Calcium Carbide.
Dry calcium carbide is lifeless as
SO much broken rock, but in contact
with water it springs into activity and
begets abundantly the gas Acetylene.
The light resulting from the ignition
OF acetylene is the nearest approach
to sunlight known.
These facts, though of compare
lively recent discovery, were soon
seized by men with an eye to the COM
mercial possibilities and to-day cal
cium carbide is being shipped every
where and used for dispelling dark
ness in buildings of all descriptions,
from the ordinary barn Of the farmer
to the country villa of the wealthy, as
well as for lighting the streets of a
large number of towns. Acetylene
can be easily and cheaply installed,
and the manufacture and sale of
acetylene generators has become .
business of recognized standing, has
assumed large proportions and ID
steadily growing.
