Notes: This version has NOT been spell-checked/reviewed since it was scanned. If you have corrections to report [or would like to volunteer to spell-check a section], please contact webmaster@hear.org. Also, it is realized that many of the even-numbered pages have distorted text on the first line of each page. This is due to a (seemingly uncorrectable) problem with our scanner. At a later date, it is hoped to replace these pages with better-formatted images (and searchable text for these lines). However, this is a very labor-intensive process, and it may be a long time before this happens (if ever).
