Your committee have concluded that

for the present, it is ineXpedient for them
to employ saldried agentsto travers the

being done away, as the people are bc
coming acquainted with the principles
and measures Of our orgaulzatlo ION and
these ere well known, at least by that
class that would ordinarily be reached
by lecturers travelling hastily over the
state. What we need especially at the
