Az the recent convention of the
Grand Aerie held in New Haven, Con
necticut, the following report was
unanimously adopted:
Only one year ago the Grand Aerie,
at Pittsburgh. upon recommendation
of r. G. w. p. Frank f. Herring
adopted as a part of the policy OF
this order. the big Brother" idea.
IT was thought by those instrumental
in bringing the subject before the
Grand Aerie. that great benefit would
accrue to the order in general by
adopting this as recognized policy,
" recognized and encouraged. the
following resolution was passed by the
convention NJ Pittsburgh:
Therefore be it resolved, That the
big Brother Aerie movement be
adopted and that 4 fund be estab-
lishai in an amount not to exceed
$40 900. and placed at the disposal Of
the grand worthy president and board
of grand trustees. to be expended in
whole or In part by them as i'm their
Judgment shall appear in, the inter-
est OF the big Brother Aerie' move
ment, either through state aerie OF
otherwise.
We believe the adoption OF this
method Of strengthening and building
up the oN1er has been OF neama BILE
benefit to the fraternity. Many state
aeries have placed the seal of their
approval upon il. Many weak aerias
are again in nourishing condition
because the Big Brother" has given
to them a part OF his reserve strength
and helped them by act and deed. The
brotherly association and exchange of
fdeas. tho knyrwledEe that has heen
impaired a. to the proper observance
OF the KitsRA; and the very necessary
instruction. M TO keeping the records
and conserving the fupds Of the sub
ordinate aeries have all been matters
in which the Big Brother" has given
the little brothAx the be1e0t Of his
experience.
