Officer Jewels

What this chapter is

Each elected and appointed officer of a Symbolic Lodge wears a jewel suspended from his collar. The jewel is silver; its design names the office. A man who knows the jewels can read the leadership of any Lodge at a glance — and that visual literacy is the first piece of fluency a newly-initiated brother gains when he begins to see the floor work and the orders of business unfold around him. This chapter pairs each jewel with the office it identifies.

How to practise it

A lesson walks the same seven steps every time. Read the intro, study the material, then drill it through Quick Fire, Matchup, Sequence, Flashcards, and the Mix capstone. Each step opens to the next; no choices to make in the middle of the work.
