rising of the dough, excepting that a quantity of yeast and a certain 

 degree of warmth are requisite to obtain palatable bread. Figure

MR. LIGHTY: Mr. Chairman, I don't know anything about the 

 proceedings; I just came in. 



The CHAIR: I will state for the information of the gentleman, 

 that each speaker has two minutes to air his views, enter his com- 

 plaints or anything of that kind. 



MR. LIGHTY: Well now I understand from the Chairman, that 

 the county institute managers have had some time, and now the 

 lecturers have some time to kick or enter-their complaints. I have 

 nothing to kick about. I can give you my idea with reference to 

 institute lecturers iu a very few words. In the first place, the lec- 

 turer wants to know what his mission is, and then he wants to fully 

 and entirely prepare himself to perform that mission, and then he 

 wants to perform it effectually. If he does that, I believe he will 

 make a success of it; he must be sure that he knows what he is there 

 for, and he must proceed along lines that are definite, intelligible 

 and practicable. If he does that, I am sure he will fulfil his mission 

 and give good satisfaction. 



MRS. MARY A. WALLACE: Mr. Chairman, I just came out to 

 let you see your little sister. I am very glad to be with you and I" 

 want to thank you all for your kindness to me. I hope that this 

 year there will be an addition to the family and you will have more 

 sisters. There is a lady here that I want to present, and I am very 

 proud that she *s from Western Pennsylvania also. I would like 

 to introduce to you Mrs. Orr, and ask her to say a few words to you. 



MRS. ORR: Mr. Chairman, Mr. Orr knows that it will be impos- 

 sible for me to say anything in two minutes. The subject of the 

 meeting last evening was education, and I have watched it all along, 

 and ever since I have observed it, I have become impressed that 

 the whole question lies right there; that you must educate. You 

 must educate your children; you must educate your sons and daugh- 

 ters, and you must educate your wives, gentlemen; you must educate 

 them as you would educate yourselves. I say educate your farmers' 

 wives so that they may become agricultural wives. 



When at the World's Fair, which was a splendid event, celebrating 

 one of the grandest of our historical events, the acquisition of the 

 Louisiana Territory, and as we went into that great exhibition, 

 right before us lay the wonderful rose garden where there were
