Scranton, Pa.
The names of the officers of the
subordinate Chapters are taken from
the old English university names,
that Is. all of the names of the var
ious positions shall have the ancient
scholastic flavor.
The names of the various officers
for each subordinate Chapter will
be; Worthy Protarch, Chancellor,
Sage. Instructor. Dean, verger,
Bursar. Registrar. Proctor and Sen
tlnel.
The same titles will be used in
the Grand and Supreme Chapters
only that they will be preceded By
Grand" or Supreme" as the case
may be-
The Worthy Protarch is the pre-
siding officer OF the Chapter and
must be man with some knowledge
of parliamentary laws; a man OF
executive ability, one who has rep.
utatlon of doing things. because up
on him will depend. in a large meas
ure. the success OF the local Chapter.
The Registrar or Secretary ocou-
pies probably one OF the strongest
positions in the Chapter He must
be student who has n thorough
knowledge OF the mathematics in all
our courses. In order that he may

duties OF his Office, and I'm addition

he Is TO act as kind OF clearing
house or employment bureau for Sc
touring positions and promotions for
the members Of the Chapter. Il will
be necessary therefore that he keep

labor. After he has furnished few
good men 20 the different employers.
II will naturally become a habit with
the employers 10 telephone or write
him asking him 10 furnish men for
certain positions, because employers
will realize that the class OF men
Furnished. are men who are willing
TO study, who want to educate them
selves and fit themselves for advance.
ment; In other words, they will be
prepared for opportunity when OPP
Dortunity presents itself. II is not
lack Of opportunity that spells fall
ure In the lives OF many men, but
the lack OF preparation when demand
arises.
Employers would soon realize
through an energetic Registrar that
the class OF men to be secured
through the Registrar, would be the |
best possible for them to employ. II !
would be the business OF the Regis
trar. In care a member was offered /
a larger salary to go 10 work for
some other firm, TO notify the firm I
for whom he is working OF this fact. |
with the idea that they would zee
the wisdom of raising his salary 20
such an extent that the member
would be justified in remaining. This
could all be done by the Registrar in
a diplomatic way with mutual ad-
vantage both to the employer. and
20 the member OF the Fraternity.
You can therefore see that great
deal will depend upon the kind OF
man you select for the position OF
Registrar.
II will become the duty OF every
member OF the local Chapter to do
what he can 10 help make the po-
sitiOn OF Registrar in his Chapter
a paying one.
In compiling and writing the rit-
ualistic work OF the Fraternity. we
realized that II would be necessary
TO secure the best brains In the
conntry. therefore we called into
someN OF the foremost I
men in the country in
order TO secure the benefit OF their
suggestions and ideas. The result
has been that we have now prepared
what we believe 10 be the most per-
