PROFESSIONALISM

translated into English and
the titles translation The Bonds of Interests nothing
would be easier for us than let the heading Of this article
90 in English like the rest But our page is read by
many professional Porto Rcans whose vernacuar Spa
nish and undoubtedly they will understand the title and
it's meaning, written as it B better than 1t were written
in a foreign language
YES the bonds Of interests are certainly very strong
the ship Of Progress is tied by them to the moorngs In
Stand patand and it is always with the greatest diff
cues that they be broken and the boat sails away
with full wind toward the Future. The ancient Romans
never 1gt ship sail without the approval Of the augur
who priest that pretended to know the future Cen
orally he threw some grains Of wheat to the holy birds
chckens) and if the animals did not pick up the food
with aWdity there was nothing DOING the ship had to
POSTPONE sailing because certainly some mShap would
happen to her during the trip.
Thereafter the professional reader no doubt will smile
when he remembers the Stiffness Of the ignorant Romans
in swallowing such stuff Indeed it is almost impossible
to read without smiling Putarchs Life Of Pyrrhus
where that celebrated historian says that before the king
embarked in his last enterprise which cost him his life
he did not notice that the bird whose enras exa
mined, in order to see if everything would be c. X had
the liverin not very sound condition.
Yes, but What about OURSELVES? Are you so GER

turtles pace? Try to do it and what happens to you
may be they the rest of the crew will troug YOU over
board
We have got to go slowly. We have the opinion of
the old people, for instance which we must always take
into consideration You may think that those honorable

already foot in the future world but nevertheless we
must heed their counsels.s
The titled crowd of course must also be consulted

sites and colleges to those who have the price The docu
menhows not exactly that the owner has the knowledge
or experience no matter how much doctor he may be-
on paper simply shows that the man paid the price
Speaking about doctors, just there is good
example at hand Of the manner in which scientific pre

There man. plain and ordinary citizen to be sure
who claims that he cure eprosy fact he says that
he cured himself of the terrible desease with the
remedy he has, and which, by the way is based the
same chamugra oil prescribed by the regular doctors
Should this man be given chance to prove whether he
is sincere in his talk simply charlatan? We really
don't know for it we answered in the affirmative some
doctor in medicine of the regular kind may come to us
and ask "What do you know about it, eh?" Because
reader don't forget this is not matter of sense
but a professional matter
