invites unauthorized agents, teachers Of all
notions, and indiscrcct parents to interfere
with our system, for personal ends, and thus
cause greater cyils-Bccaase previous efforts
Of former Boards have not been made thor
ougb, but have increased the evils they de-
signed TO cure; imprcssinS us with the fact,
that something more efficient, and general, is
absolutely demanded, to serve the public,
