Astounding facts and figures con
nation. state and schools were pre-
sented to those attending the MONDAY
Chamber of Commerce luncheon We'd
nesday, by Dr.. William Chancellor
of Wooster and Dr. II. p. Williams of
Columbus.
Dr. Chancellor told of a recent meet
ing in New York when the reduction of
from 23 to Is grains in gold was dis
cussed and pointed out that If such
condition were prevalent it would
raise the prices and reduce the wages.
He stated that several years ago there
we're three billions in the treasury
while now there are five billions. AS
| to the income of the average man to-
day. the speaker said that 1t was in
| flated by The flood of gold. DR.. Chan
ccor said that it would be much bet
ter for the government to let the peO-
! pie make their money with no rcstric
tions rather than to restrict and tax
them first.
In conclusion. Dr. Chancellor de
clared that it would be happy day
indeed when the old idea of ones sup.
porting the government for ones own
sake rather than working for the sake
of a government to be supported, ar
rived.
Dr.. r. p Williams made evident
the facts that in the future new and
more practical courses would be in
cluded III the curriculum of the public
schools, that great work was to be de
manded of the teachers, that the grow
ing boys and girls must be strongly
impressed with the relation they beaI
to each other to the town in which
they live. to the state, and to all the
foreign countries. He declared that
they must be made producers and not
consumers and they must be made 1Ol

which will present themselves after
the war.
