Charles T. Merrill, Division Commander, in
recent orders announces the appointment Of
Assistant Inspectors and calls attention to the
plan adopted by some Camps of recruiting
members. The following Assistant inspectors
are hereby appointed: E. n. Courson, Camp
43, Brunswick, and +. r. Fife, Camp 90, P. o.
address, Fryeburg. They will be obeyed and
respected accordingly. A preliminary inspec,
ton will he had in February, 1894. The newly
elected officers should prepare themselves for
the same Some practicable plan should be
adopted by every Camp for increasing its
membership. The membership should be
double what il is in the majority of cities and
towns in which our Camps are located. Some
Camps appoint recruiting committee to serve
for a month. At the end of that time, another
committee is appointed for the next month, and
so on, one for each month. Another method is
TO divide the territory into districts and ap-
point committee for each district. These
two plans are suggested by the Division Com
msnder, and it is hoped that if neither are
adopted, some other practicable one may be, by
every Camp in the Division.
