average. Mr.. Hardness has produced bright
and sparkling book. You cannot crush out
truth by putting down its opponents. The ltile
pamphlet shows that there are subjects on which,

PRoP. JoHs G. HARDNESS,
Dear Sir: congratulate you on having aroused
attention and awakened opposition by your recent
address at Trenton. The prime pies therein laid
down are unqlestionably correct, and the closest
examination will only make that fact the more APP
parent. 1t is surprising that In great educational
body such evident truths should have caused so much
excitement That theJ did so, setms TO indicate the
| necessity for their wider dissemination.
| Very Truly You're,
CHARLES u. SHAW.
