In July, 1921, a number of the leading Psychologists. Scientists and Hunanitarians of the United States met at Washington, D. C.. for the purpose of discussing the or ganization of The Society of Practical Psychology.
 This conference was due primarily to the efforts of Mir. Hinton E. Carr, the we'll known Birmingham attorney. ex-banker and real estate operator who has for many years specialized in coal and iron-ore lands. With the ex- ception of the late MT. Henry F. DeBardeleben, MT. Carr is reputed to have bought and sold more of these lands, both as to number of transactions and acreage, in the Birming- ham district, than any other one individual, and at pres ent holds extensive interests in this and other enterprises.
 Upon the formation of The Society of Practical Psycholo- gy and it's incorporation in Washington. D. C., in Octo- Der, 1921, the office of Pres- ident and Director General was rendered to Mir. Carr, who accepted the honor with the understanding that the promulgation of the Society should be deferred until such time as he could work out. and perfect every detail in connection herewith and so adjust his personal and busi- ness interests that he could remove to the Supreme Head quarters in Washington and devote his entire attention to this field of endeavor. An other stipulation, which his associates most heartily in- dorsed, was that the funda- mental basis of every act of the Society must be the di- rect application of the Golden Rule.
 Alter two years of con- sistent and diligent effort, all details for the functioning of this Society were worked out. and the Fraternal Realm was inaugurated in the organiza- ton and institution of Sub- ordinate Council No. 1, Prov ince of Alabama, on August Y. 1923, with the follow ing list of Honorary and Reg ular members:
