Bearing- in mind the events of the past t w6 years ahd their results, I feel that the colony has retrogressed politicail-y.

Special note mUl,t l::e made of the masted who have never re5ted in cqnstantl;Y reminding the pupils of the duty that the:(, as the future leaders of Guiana owe to their country.
