These are all members of fraternal
orders and not one of them has sought
a trustee ship. 1t Is an unwritten law
of the brotherhood that the office
must seek the man, not the man the
office. Three of the seven truste es
elected will accompany to Paris the en- :
campment described further on as the
guests of the educational wing of the
brotherhood. Should any of them
decline to serve, those receiving the
next highest number of votes will be
called into action.
AN EDUCATIONAL ENCAMPMENT.
An educational encampment will be
sent out next spring and be pitched in
the centers of population of the Unit
ed States preparatory to visiting
Paris in August and bringing the mil
lions who Assem- BILE there to view the
exposition in touch with the inven-
tion and the spirit of the movement.
The object of the encampment is to Or
ganize and educate the mem bers of the
brotherhood in the work of the fedora
tion and to knit their hearts together
in close fraternal bonds.
Two years ago, when the plans of
an educational campaign at the turn
ing of the century began to make de-
finite shape the passenger agents of
the great transportation lines were
approached. Could their cooperation
in moving a great encampment and it's
staff and guests be reckoned on? The
writer makes some extracts from the
replies, which he read on Christmas
day.

ing anything we can to assist your en-
terprise, " wrote w. G. Rinearson, of
Cincinnati, general passenger agent of
