=111.= Franklin's boyhood debate on the subject of the education of young women is reflected here as a settled conviction. =113.= The great scholar and historian, Gibbon, agreed with Franklin concerning the languages. =115.= "Inoculation." Will you volunteer to make a report to the class on inoculation and vaccination? The two combine in making one of the most interesting chapters in the history of medical science. =117.= You will be interested in comparing the constable's watch of ragamuffins with the watch in Shakespeare's _Much Ado About Nothing_. =118.= In many towns and cities there is much of interest connected with the fire department. "The History of Our Fire Department," "Fire Fighting," and many other subjects may suggest themselves to you for written or oral reports. Possibly some one in the class may be able to tell in this connection how Crassus, the friend of Julius Cæsar, gained a great part of his wealth. =119.= Have you read of the work of Whitefield and his associates in England? See "The Methodist Movement" in Halleck's _History of English Literature_, or in some good English history. =132.= Your classmates will be interested in a report on the Franklin stove. Make some simple drawings to illustrate its principles. =141.= Find out definitely what system of street cleaning prevails in your home town. Write a feature article on that system, as if for a magazine. Some member of the class who has a camera will secure illustrations for you. Also write an editorial for a newspaper, an editorial inspired by the disclosures of the feature article. =175.= Will several of you take up the subject of "Franklin's Electrical Experiments" and make reports to the class? =185.= Notice Franklin's alertness in suggesting the application of scientific methods to practical affairs. Do you think that Emerson's definition of "genius" as given in the first paragraph of his essay on "Self-Reliance" can be justly applied to Franklin? You will be interested in following Franklin's experiments in determining the value of oil in stilling the waves, and also his investigations of the Gulf Stream and of the nature of storms. He asked, "What signifies philosophy that does not apply to some use?" Yet he had a wonderful imagination back of his practical nature. Emerson says that the chief use of a book is to inspire. On this basis how do you rank the _Autobiography_ in usefulness?
