That the members of the visiting
men of experts arc thoroughly sincere
is evident from the fac that they are
giving their services practically free
although they are men who could
command prices that would make
their coming to us prohibitive. We

good fortune that we are so highly
favored as to secure men for which
other and larger cities competed.
We accordingly urge all men so ia,
