But the spirit of selhshness-of stub- born selfshness, is so deep In human nature, that until men put into actual life the noble unselfishness of the Golden Rule no harmony can ever pre- vail out of the controversies into which labor and capital are perpetually plunged, and the master printer, as an educator, will take the lead in the work of reform now happily proceeding In the United States.
 The next speaker was President F'lavel s. Luther, Of Trinity college. He kept the banqueters in rollicking mood for about ten minutes, and then delivered a profound and Illuminating dissertation on the importance to the state of Connecticut of industrial edu- cation, to supplant the old apprentice ship system, which has passed away, and, he thought, never would return. His address was received with an appreciation that was very dattering, and it seemed to be the elucidation of the aims and purposes of many of the typothetaens present.
 Isaac M Blanchard of New York, NllO SpOh6 III plctC6 OL w illlellll GISCIl of the same city, who was unavoidably unable to attend, emphasized the im- portance of having the exact knowl- edge of cost in the production of print ed material.
 MT Blanchard was followed by the Rev. Dr. Watson L. Phillips of this city, who Is always witty, always elo- quent, always ready to meet the occa- sion with the right and proper propo- sitions. The reverend doctor eloquent ly depicted the essence of Frank lin's greatness, which followed, he said, upon the development of his character, the greatness of his manhood. He paid most worthy tribute to ex-President of the Typothetae c. s, Warehouse, which elicited hearty and spontaneous approval.
 President George H. Ellis of the Ma tional typothetae said that the execu- tive eommitte of the typothetae had arranged for an agreement with the International Printing Pressman's un- ion for an eight-hour day to begin January i, 1909. He said his commit tee were not authorized to enter into an agreement, but that a convention of the typothetae has been called to be held in Pittsburg February next, and he hoped the arranged for agree ment would be ratified, Four out of five of the executive committee of the pressman on the other hand, had sign ed the agreement. The pressman's committee was given absolute power in the premises, and ratification by convention on the pressmen's part was' not necessary. It is hoped that the typothetae will ratify the action of it's executive committee, and another disturbance in the printing trade be avoided.
 John Mcintyre, secretary of the Ma tional typothetae, rehearsed the work of the executive committee during the last eighteen months, and said that it was satisfactory to the craft at large.
 After the banquet the typothetae met in executive session to elect dele gates to the Pittsburg convention.

Curtiss, AleXan der Cumming, John H. Taylor, George Atkins, William H. Morris, Alexander Hunter, George H. Futile, Roger w. Futile, c. S. Morehouse, Thomas Roche, Harry L. Lyons.
