Excerpt from The Signalman and His Work This book, the first of a series to be issued under the direct supervision of our Brotherhood, is but a beginning of our general educational plan. Grand Lodge Officers and members of the Grand Executive Board have carefully gone over the manuscript Of this book and made many suggestions, which the au thor acknowledged as of great value. Further sug gestions will, of course, be welcomed from any of you, and necessary additions incorporated in subsequent editions. We have only one thought to add in connection with this, the first book of the Brotherhood: It should be read by each member of our organization; and we feel sure that you who read this will do your best to further its reading by your friends and associates.
