Within smother short period these eight
clubs meeting. perhaps, in diferent

centers Of rural population viii each in

nucles Of other groups or clubs, and each
Of these again of still others; and so on
ad infnitum.
This is the system Of organisation
adopted by the international. Bear in
mind that it is for educational purposes
only.
Up to this point, it will 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 bylaws or other
ormality is at all necessary. The time
usually spent in society meetingsin 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 isand this is an advantage
that belongs only to very small associa-
tions- namely, 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 q
dozen takers and fifty listeners, every
one will be talker and every one q
listener, and of course all will be thereby
more interested and become more intel
ligent, and a zeal 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 a 'boss," a self-constituted 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 suck ambitious or un-
Eprincipled individuals, and it is an evil OF
the first magnitude. H
Each man is member of one group
which lis under the Craftsmanship of its
organizer. He is simple member here
but if he desires himself to become an
organizer he can do SO by going out and
organizing group of his own.
Among the chief objects of the Inter
national is the ascertaining Of the indi-.
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. s. .s,
In this way, if every sympathizing
reader Of this article will set to work, it
will be readily seen how quickly and
successfully -suprosing the ideas to, be
correct and the tile ripe for them-the
party may spread. hke the ganglions Of
the nervous system, 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 also to make the outcome
of the new system of society more sure
and satisfactory. Az.
And, be it observed. that with this
system there will be no necessity for any
centralized authority or arbitrary regula-.
ton, Everylittle group will be inde-
pendent and \selfregulating, and will
have the benefit of connection through
its first member or founderw 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. ./ E/..@9.
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, inan extremely short time, to
perfectly familiarize themselves with the
fundamental principles of true socialsci-
ence. u. A.-s 4
Following this course comes scientific
and comprehensive course of chemistry.
In brief, the producers are scientifically
elevated from the condition of ignorant
slaves to the position of intelligent free
men, prepared to act as leaders in the
great social revolution, whose birth
throes are already agitating the world.
Secret, mysterious, worldwide, quietly
honey-combing society, the 1. W. A.
offers to daring and devoted men and
women of earth, the sole practical means
of releasing the wealth-producers from
the shackles of tyranny. 1t does not
fear betrayal since its system of organi-
Zation prevents the possibility of treason.
