Discussion Of Methods.
A long discussion on the manner of pre-
pairing blanks for the registrar general
was precipitated by Mrs. Murphy of Ohio.
She wanted the blank to bear the record
rather than the jacket. Her resolution
was opposed by Mrs. Amos Draper, the
registrar general. who made her Objec-
