About Open Meetings—The Lecturer' 6 Province —Best Time For Children's Exercises Membership Contests. Grange Lecture Courses. Question—What should be our policy in regard to open meetings? Answer—fiiako them Just as rare as the conditions will warrant, and in some granr/'S there is no need of ever having ore except on such necessary occasions as <imnd Army night, children's night, etc.. and even then attendance of outsid er.! should be confined to those especially u."sm l ited with tho evening in question, nmloubudly 100 many open meetings a>- held Tho privileges of tho grange are to I often given tree to those who ou iiit to b< members, ml by so much does the Order In. .! instead of gain by the piactice. i.ii eilon—To what extent Is tho lectur er in charge of tho meeting" while the li.. raiy program is in progress? Attswer—lt is a mistaken'idea in many gir.ngca that during the lecture hour the master is to give over all authority over t!.meeting : > tho handa of tlie lecturer, the ol't repealed declaration of the mas ter, "I now place the meeting in the hands of the lecturer," being In itself a misnomer. As a matter of fact, the mas ter Is in cli:. Eof tho meeting from the lir't rap or ilio gavol until tho closing benediction and should occupy his chair as much dining the literary program as at any other time. The lecturer simply conducts the program features, but should no! I • required to maintain order or oth erui.-e as.su. ti e functions of the mas ter The authority nt the latter never s;.. ; ovals during tho progress of the i'i ■ nr ■ meeting, and the proper function of the lecturer is always secondary to thfit of the : . lev. A clear understand ing of this I . i makes for pleasant rela tior.s and for the greatest success. C.'i'e: tion— What is the best season fot holding children's night? Answer—ln the majority of granges: June lias hi '-n the most common mui.th, for entertaining the children, and this custom still largely prevails. Vet there is a t : .wing disposition to get av. i.v from the month of school graduations and ehurcli obse.l vancea, both of which occupy so much of the time and strength of the children. A July date has been adopted In in my granges, while this particular evening Is now often set for the second meeting night in September, thus secur ing the assistance of the teachers, Mho are invaluable helper. In training the chil dren. (v. - tion—ls there danger that competi tive nights will arouse friction among the members? An; vvcv—So far as reported very little <j; iiculty hr.s ever arisen from ruin cause, ttiourh cases of this sort are not un known. Where they have occurred it lias I.EI II due FIMPLY to lack of taet oil some body's ir.rt and might as easily have t rev. i out of any other occasion. llow evi v.the competitive night Is rapidly tnli ir . in tho form of simply the two sides pie ..nttiiff tliclr respective programs i'. ii hout decision, Judges or forfeit.
