HOW does one explain the two statements below?

What caused such a state of affairs?

Is this situation INDICATIVE of the Adyar organization and 
its "mindset"?

I give two statements made in 1975
by the late John Coats, President of the
Theosophical Society (Adyar) from 1973-1979.

"The percentage of members, who have not as yet
ever read any books by H.P. Blavatsky is
regrettably high." The Theosophist, Feb., 1975

"There's a great need for the deepening of the
individual member's understanding of theosophy.
A lot of people skate superfically over the
surface of theosophy without really going into
it in depth." The Theosophist, Dec. 1975.
