ticular hour when matters relevant to pond culture may be 

 discussed. I do not know whether there are an}^ papers on 

 tliat subject. l)ut it is an interesting one, and all those who 

 desire should have an opportunity to discuss it. It seems to 

 me that we ought to have a time set apart for this when all 

 of those posted on the subject should be present, in order 

 to bring out all the information jx^ssible. 



Mr. Meehan : I suggest also that should there be in the 

 question box any questions relating to pond culture, they be 

 brought forward at the same time. 



Mr. Clark : I wish to state that I have prepared no paper 

 on the subject given in the program. The announcement is 

 a mistake. 



]Mr. Gunckel : When ]\f r. Pea1)ody was here, he said he 

 [)ut me down for the sul)ject which you will see on the pro- 

 gram, and he said/Tf we have enough papers you won't have 

 to read yours." (Laughter.) Now, I have discovered a 

 sufficient number of papers to have a discussion as long as 

 you stay in this town, but I will tell you what I would like 

 to have you do. It would l)e no trouble for me to prepare 

 a paper, even if I had to leave you ten or fifteen minutes for 

 that purpose. If I prepared a paper I would get through in 

 tliirty minutes. Now, if on Thursday you will adjourn 

 here at 1 o'clock and come out to the newsboys' building at 

 that time, stay ten minutes, and see 100 boys in bathing, 

 .some of them that never had a bath before, and five minutes 

 to look through the building, and five minutes to get back 

 here, that is half the time we wouhl spend in reading a paper. 

 If you will do that Thursday. I think you will discover 

 something of interest, and when }-ou go to your home you 

 will say, "Well, there are other things besides fishing." I 

 would like to have you consider that, but if you want a 

 paper I can get of¥ into a corner and figure one out very 

 (juickly. (Laughter and applause.) 



Mr. Titcomb: We will probably all go to Castalia to- 

 morrow, and I suggest to the committee that the subject of 

 pond culture and all matters relevant to it be discussed there.
