ORIGINALITY.

Of no use are the men who study to do exactly as was done before, who can never understand that today is a new day. We want men of original perception and origi­nal action, who can open their eyes wider than to a nationality ‑ namely, to considerations of benefit to the human race ‑ can act in the interest of civilization, men of elastic, men of moral mind, who can live in the moment and take a step forward.
