officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day the refused the offer as follows:

We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if your ideas of this kind of education happen not t be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods… they were totally good for nothing.

We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send up a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them.

W: The football game's on Saturday night, and I'm going with a group of friends. Do you want to go with us？

M: Of course I'd like to go to the football game: it's the biggest game of the season. And it sounds like fun to go with a large group of people.

W: Good. We'll be meeting at the cafeteria for dinner at six o'clock on Saturday night, and then we'll go on to the game together.

M: That takes care of my plans for Saturday night. But now I need to make a decision about Sunday af ternoon. The music department is sponsoring a concert then, and I'd really like to hear that concert. But there's also a play being presented by the drama department that I really wanted to see. It's too bad, those two events ate at tile same time.

W: You know, if you go to the game on Saturday night and a concert or play on Sunday, that doesn't leave much time for studying.

uction to Seience, didn't you？

M: I sure did. Why did you ask me about that？

W: Well, I'm thinking about taking it next year. I want to know something about it beforehand.

M: As far as I'm concerned, I suggest that you not take it.

W: Why not？ Is the professor awful or is the lecturing boring？

M: The professor is nice enough. But the course is nothing but physics and chemistry with lots of equations. You can't just mix the right chemicals and watch what happens. As you go along you have to keep care notes and turn it all into a bunch of numbers and formulas after the experiment is over. It was the worst course I've ever taken.

W: What you say is no problem for me. To tell you the truth, [ like formulas and numbers. That's what I'm different from you.

M: Is it？ Then you'll love it if it is the case. But all that I was interested in was biology and we didn't get to that till the last three weeks of the class. What a year!

tions about the new official standard weight that you purchased.

M: I'd be happy to help you. What would you like to know？

W: First of all, how was the standard weight used？

M: Well, the people in our department use it to check the scales all over the country. The department of weights and measures, we are a government agency. It's our responsibility to see that all the scales measure a kilogram accurately so this is the way we use to adjust the scales.

W: How did you check the scales before？

M: We have an old standard weight that we used to use. It had to be replaced because it was imprecise. You see it was made of poor quality metal that was too porous. It absorbed too much moisture.

W: Oh. So when the weather was humid it weighed more and when it was dry it weighed less.

M: Exactly. And that variation can affect the standards of the whole country. So our department had the new weight made out of higher quality metal.

W: How much did it cost？

M: About 45 thousand dollars.

W: 45 000 dollars？ For one kilogram weight？ That's more expensive than gold. Is it really worth that much？

M: I'm sure it is. Industries depend on our government agency to monitor the accuracy of scales so that when they buy and sell their products there is one standard. Think of the drug industry, for example, those companies rely on high accuracy scales to manufacture and package medicine.

What is the conversation mainly about？

A．How to care for precious metals.

B．A standard unit for measuring weight.

C．The value of precious metals.
