INC board, in the light OF recent
g. we are constrained to fall in with the
opinion of the President as noted above.
Notwithstanding the doubt as to our con-
sequence, thus raised in our mind, we ven
tured upon the statement, which we endeav-
ored to make in plain, business-like way,
without any attempt at rhetorical display or
the use of Latin, Greek Or aught else than
the vernacular in its most elementary FORM
of grade, we might say, recognized as not
being above that ofthe public shoots,
Unfortunate wei All misunderstood, "wit
larded with malice" framed reply in the
Presidents mouth that "the object of our
visit was then apparent, we were there TO
teach the Board their duty"
That crushed us; we have our conceits, but
"Thcn let the pebbles on the hungry beach,
"Fillip the stars; then let mutinous winds
"Strike the proud ccdars' ganst the fiery sum-
"Murdring impossibility, to make"
"What cannot he, slight work.
Only then, would we be of a mind to I'M
dertake the task ascribed to us as being self
imposed
1t is just possible, however, that so capri
cious fear that others may presume to teach
tlBoard, may be grounded in suspicion
angst themselves that the world of mind
amteligcnce will not stand still century
