ABSTRACT
I do not know whether any of my readers have ever contemplated starting a crank school; if they have I strongly urge them to abandon the idea at once. The crank schoolmaster is considered fair game by all the other cranks throughout the world, who all express astonishment when they discover that he does not believe in their particular nostrum. There are those who think that Mexican Indian medicine men are repositories of ancient Egyptian wisdom; there are those who are convinced that the Great Pyramid foretells the course of the world's history from the date of its construction to the year 1932; there are those who believe that the English are the Ten Lost Tribes; there are those who consider themselves to be reincarnations of Julius Ceasar. From all these I have personally suffered.
