that the desire which you first had to
study the subject for your own sake, will
have expanded by this time into desire
to spread your views everywhere within
the circle of your Influence, andfhe same
desire will animate your companions.
Suppose, then, that each of you whilere-
tanning your organization as a little club
Ia egroupn-shouId make himself the
starting point or Nucleus of just such an
other club or group" composed of per-
sons perhaps living. in his immediate
nelghborhood, or associated in busin ess,
ore in some other way. The formation
of these secondary clubs or groups, and
their development will be easier than
that of the first, as each will have the
advantage of AM intelligent teacher.
You see that in a very short time instead
of one you will have eight little clubs or
groups, each having a thread of commu-
nication with the first one, which will
continue to hold It's regular meetings.
Within another short period these eight
clubs--meeting, perhaps, in different
wards or suburbs of city, or in little
oenters of rural population-will each in
like manner make of its members the
nuclei of other groups or clubs, and each
of these again Of, still others; and SO on
ad infinitum. "a -s i.
This IS the system of organization
adopted by the International Bear in
mind that it is for educational purposes
only. f's-.t HE.s. ...t| tFs..a.
i Up to this point,it will be seen, that
this method of organizationsis very sim
pie and quite natural it is also free from
any expense for halls and advertising,
and no constitutioRgor bylaws or other
ormality is at all necessary. The time
usually spent in society meetings 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 lncon-
venience in attending them. Another
advantage is-and this is an advantage
that belongs only tD 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
be no timidity about the expression of
individual opinion ), instead of half a
dozen takers and fifty listeners, every
one will be taIker and every one
listener, and of course all will be thereby
more interested and become more intel
ligent, and a real friendship will be
likely to spring up between them. The
reciprocity of thought will produce that
effect. Another important advantage is,
that there will be little likelihood of any
one member ASSUMING such authority as
to become boss selfconstituted in
carnation of the society, making in its
name all sorts of arrangements, bargains
and compromises. Nearly all the pres
ent political associations are pestered
and damaged by such ambitious or un-
principled individuals, and it is an evil of
the first magnitude.
| Each man is a member Of one group
which is under the Craftsmanship of its
organizer. He is a simple member here
but if he desires himself to become an
organizer he can d. so by going out and
organizing group of his own.
Among the chief objects of the Inter-

In this way, il every sympathizing
reader of this article will set to work, it
will be readily seen how quickly and
successfully-supposing the ideas to be
correct and the time ripe for them-the
party may spread. like the ganglions of
the nervous systems throughout the whole
of this broad land, preparing public
opinion, in advance of the crisis. for the
new social order, and thus serving not
only to mitigate the violence of the
transition, but alsosto make the outcome
of the new system Of society more sure
and satisfactory.
And, be it observed, that with this
system there will be no necessity for any
centralized authority or arbitrary regula-
ton. Every little group will be indie
pendent and selftregulating, and will
have the benefit Of connection through
its first member orSfounder with a group
older than itself, and will thus be kept
informed of the general movement of
thought and the progress of the party
elsewhere.
But the chief beauty of the plan is
that course of education has been
mapped out and excellent text books
provided, and that these are placed in
the hands of the various groups, who
forming themselves thus into classes are
enabled, in an extremely short time, to
perfectly familiarize themselves with the
fundamental principles of true social sci
ence.
Following this coarse comes scientific
and comprehensive course of chemistry.
