COMMITTEE WORK
THE "LEAGUE OF THEOSOPHICAL WORKERS" has been formed
in accordance with the report of the committee appointed at the
last annual convention of the American Section of the Theosophical
Society for founding such league. Its central office is in New
York City. Its officers are:
Mrs. J. Campbell Ver Planck, President.
Miss Katharine Hillard, Vice President.
Mr. H.T. Patterson, Secretary.
Mr. E.A. Neresheimer, Treasurer.
Under it local leagues may be formed, which leagues by the
provisions of the Constitution of the society will be nearly
autonomous.
Membership is only open to members of the Theosophical Society,
though others may take part in its work as associate members.
Notice will shortly be sent out with full particulars as to
the provisions of the Constitution, and suggestions as to the
best methods to be followed by the local leagues.
THE STANDING COMMITTEE appointed at the last annual Convention
of the American Section of the Theosophical Society for making
of branch work more effective have their first suggestions nearly
ready. It makes a somewhat voluminous paper, and will either
be published in a subsequent number of the PATH, or sent out
by the committee itself direct to the Branches. It embodies plans
for the running of large and small, and formal and informal meetings.
Also a draft of fifty-two subjects for discussion, the subjects
being arranged in groups under different headings - this scheme
being adopted in toto from the Brooklyn branch. There
are in addition recommendations for study at subsidiary meetings,
and outlines as to co-operative home work, with a valuable paper
summarizing the entire Secret Doctrine on the topic of "hierarchies"
- this summarization being the result of such work already done.
