Paul is actually entitled to the
meeting. because they were prem
ised it when they voted for Salt
Lake in 1912. But we are afraid
it will spoil the convention,
The st. Paul delegation makes the
same arguments for the meeting that
the eastern delegates concede as a
good reason why St Paul should not
have il. They say they were cheated
out of the 1911 convention at the last
moment, and then last year lined up
for Salt Lake upon the express under
standing that they were to have the
meeting in 1914.
Admittedly there is strong support
for both cities on the board of direc~
tors. Many feel that ST. Paul is enti'
tied 10 the meeting for the reason the
delegates give, Others, especially the
eastern representatives on the board,
believe that the west is getting too
ST. Paul forces and the eastern fac
ton arc cxerting every effort to win
their respective points.
Contending against the distraction
caused by the pernicious activity OF
seemly thousands OF mosquitoes, the

ence which attended the general ses
sion in the tabernacle last evening.

Is the prescriptlve school that denies
and even defies the nature of individ
uals.
He said that the teacher as a social
engineer must aid in the general vel
fare Of society, in respect to its eco
nomic affairs and its ethical con-
Germs. He said that the youth should
not be prepared for an overloaded la
Dor market or for a profession or occu
patton for which there is no need or
beneficial use.
