that a certain amount OF education has

quarters 1.-THE state thus possesses q
nucleus from which growth will natur
ally proceed, he says.
One advocate in endorsing Mr.

Courier thus: II hope the suggestions
of Mr.. Ralston in regard to concentrating
the work of single takers In the United
States on the State OF Delaware for the
next twelve moaths can be found both
practicable and advisable. II, after .
closer examination, such is found to be
the case, put me down as subscriber K
