170 158. The resolution, Resolved, That science has benefited humanity more than literature has, and that education should be conducted on scientific rather than literary lines.

Mr. Rollins (obtaining the floor): This is a question upon which we ought not act hastily. I would bein favor of referring it to a committee, giving the committee ample time to consider the question, and to offer such suggestions or amendments as may seem proper. I therefore move that the resolution be referred to a committee of five members, to be appointed by the chair, and that said committee be instructed to report at our next meeting.

Mr. Little (rising): I second the motion.

The Chairman: It is moved and seconded to refer the resolution to a committee of five members, to be appointed by the chairman, and said committee be instructed to report at our next meeting. Are you ready for the question? (Debatable as to propriety of referring to a committee).
