This il the system of organisation

mind that it is for educational purposes

Upsto thu point. it viii BE- seen, that
this method Of Organisation is very sim
pie and quite natural !; It is also free from
any expense for halls and advertising,
and no constitution or by-laws OF other
|ormality is at all necessary. The time
usually spent in society meetingsi in what
is called regular business" is entirely
saved. As the meetings are quite in
formal, and probably held near the home
Of each member, there will be no neon
venience in attending them. Another
advantage is and this is an advantage
that belongs only to very small associa-
tions -namelv, that as each club will
probably be composed Of persons Of
about the same class and habits and
quite familiar with each other, there will
lbe no timidity about the expression oI
individual opinion; instead Of half q
dozen takers and fifty listeners, every
lone will be talker and every one
listener, and Of course all viii be thereby
more interested and become more intel
lligent, and real friendship will be
likely to spring up between them. The
reciprocity Of thought will produce that
effect. Another important advantage is,.
thatthere will be little likelihood of any
one member assuming such authority as
to become "boss,n self-constituted in
carnation of the society, making in its
name all sorts of arrangements, bargains
land compromises. Nearly all the pres
ent political associations are pestered
and damaged by such ambitious or un-
principled individuals, and it isan eviloI
the first MAGNITUDE. #
Each man is q member of one group
which is under the Craftsmanship of its
organizer, He is a simple member here
lbut if he desires himself to become an
organizer he can dosso by going out and
organizing group of his own.
i Among the chief objects of the Inter
national is the ascertaining of the indi-
4 vidual opinions of each of the members
upon all questions of interest, Each
member is expected to forward his views
and thoughts and all information he OBJ
tains to headquarters.

!. And, be it observed, that with this
system there will be no necessity for any
centralized authority or arbitrary regula-
,ftion. Every little group will be inde-
pendent and self-regulating, and will
have the benefit of connection through
its first member or founder with group
Il older than itself, and will thus be kept
informed of the general movement of
| thought and the progress of the party
elsewhere.
4 Butthe chief beauty of the plan is

4 the hands Of the various groups, who
