lied and first met In a room in the old
building at the northwest corner Of
Broad and Church streets. Charleston,
8. c., known as Shepherds Tavern.
The old building, its stone steps worn
thin by the many feet that have ira
yersed them, still stands, and the Su-
preme Council held a session there
September rs, 1924, one hundred and
twenty-three years after the first
meeting.
After the headquarters had been
moved to Washington, the council
continued to meet in various places.
Among them were the local consist.
ory's temple, at 1907 G street north

Third street northwest.
The present House of the Temple,
dedicated October 18, 1915, where the
session Of the Supreme Council will be
held this year, and which contains the
offices of the grand commander, John
III. Cowles. and the secretary general,
Hyman w. Witcover, Is visited daily
during the year by large numbers of
visitors to the Capital City.
John Russell Pope Of New York,
the architect, having in mind that the
temple was to be used as the head
quarters for Scottish Rite Masonry of
the entire Southern Jurisdiction, said,
Every, regard was paid to the per-

Justice is the rule of conduct writ
ten in the nature of mankind" said
Albert Pike, the great philosopher of
Scottish Rite Masonry. AS humanity
learns and practices the true rules of
justice, civilization progresses. In So
ciety the interest of the individual can
not be paramount; his interests must
be sacrificed, to some extent, for the
interests of society as a whole"
The Supreme Council. as the ruling

be conquered.
Sir James Barrie wrote the whimsi-

explains the nature of the piece which

Though genius can triumph over
almost any defect, it is obvious that
the ordinary man has better chance
for success if he can correct his de-
fects or. better still, prevent them. If
his defect is incurable he can often
win by making careful study of the
situation and adapting his mode of
living and his occupation to his limi-
tations.
In the last few years science and
many organizations have done much
to help in this line. A. striking exam
pie was the great anti-hookworm in
vestigation and campaign carried on
by the Rockefeller Foundation in the
southern portions of the United States
where studies of mentality were made
along with the physical studies. Per-
sons having the hookworm were found
to be of retarded mentality, sluggish

BECAUSE of the councils active
support of Americanism, the Cur
tis-Reed educational bill, and every
interest of the public school, it has
been criticized and accused OF en-
gaging in politics. However, the SUI
preme Council does not support any
candidate for Office, nor take sides on
any political issue, but 1t is believed
that the welfare of the school. thes
welfare of the youth, and the Amerl-
canization of aliens are economic,
patriotic and moral. and not political
issues and they are supported as
such.
There is no doubt that the future
of this country is largely dependent
