CHAPTER 14 THE PRAESIDIUM 89
18. The President of the praesidium, after consultation with
the other officers, shall have authority to suspend any
member of the praesidium for any reasons that they in their
discretion deem sufficient, and they shall not be accountable
to the praesidium for such action.
19. The Curia has authority to expel or to suspend any
member of a praesidium, subject only to a right of appeal to
the next-highest governing body. The decision of the next-
highest governing body shall be final.
20. Any dispute as to the allocation of work as between
praesidia shall be decided by the Curia.

21. It is an essential duty of the praesidium to raise up and
preserve around itself a strong body of auxiliaries.
View a regiment of soldiers, well-officered, courageous,
perfectly disciplined and armed, suggesting an irresistible
strength! Yet, in itself that regiment represents only a short-
lived efficiency. It depends from day to day on a great
supporting host of workers who furnish it with munitions,
food, clothing and medical help. Cut away from these
services, what will a few days of conflict do with that fine
body of men!
What that supporting host is to the regiment, the
auxiliaries are to the praesidium. The auxiliaries are part of
the system. The praesidium is incomplete without them.
The proper method of keeping in touch with the auxiliaries
is by personal contact. The issue of circulars is not by itself a
sufficient way of attending to this important duty.
22. An army always provides for its future by the
establishment of military training schools. Similarly, it should
be regarded as a necessary part of the system of each senior
praesidium to conduct a junior praesidium: Two of the senior
legionaries should be assigned to the junior praesidium as
officers. As the training of juniors requires certain qualities,
not every senior legionary is fitted for the office. Therefore,
they should be carefully selected. Their work in that capacity
may be held to satisfy their work-obligation for their senior
praesidium. They shall represent the junior praesidium on the
Curia, or on a junior Curia, if such exists.
