Of animals, will be prosecuted by a single indi-

Groups may be composed of FIVE scycr, twelve or

New Members, who only admitted by the
consent of the Group, expressed by vote. are first
received as Learners or Neviccs. They do no, by
any receive full pay like experienced Mem
bers, because their Labor. undirectcd by Skill, is
not near as valuable. They mus! 60 through an
apprenticeship which is longer or shorter, accord
ing to the difficulty of learning the branch Of In
dustry which they have newly chosen.
The most s1illful and experienced Members arr.
elected Officers OF the Group;-tley are elected
for year, with privilege of renewal. These
Officers may be termed Director. Assistant Di-
rector and Secretary. or President Vice President
and Keeper OF Accounts. We have SAID before
that Skill or Talent should receive u portion of
the Product, but we have not spoken, OF the subject
in detail, III order not to complcat, it. We Will
now touch upon it Ii the skill. talent s,adv or
