To get a the movement-- really is--it may the beginning and s Rotary into being. een years ago | a lonesome man----Paul P.

It clear understanding of | for that's what 1s be well to start at what brought | offices and which frequent other's acquaintanceship such ted a different business or pro- | fession Strict adherence to this | plan as each new man was added to | the group has proven to be one of the vital points in the success of the Rotary Club which came out of this | small beginning. As the numbérs | grew slowly, of course, a)name for the club was sought. Inasmuch as the men had been 'rotating' in their meetings in the offices of the mem- som one suggested that it be "Rotation Club," but this was soon changed to "Rotary." For three years this club was "lost'"' in the commercial and social turmoil of the big city, just as its founder, Paul Harris, considered | himself "lost" without congenial, de- | pendablas friends. Then one of the | Chicago men made a business trip to California, and a second club was | formed in San Francisco. This was the beginning of the movement which has spread to all quarters of the globe. In addition to the 800 clubs in the United States,Canada,England, | Scotland and Ireland, and including the six clubs in Cuba, clubs have been organized in Argentina, Spain Uruguay, France, Porto Rico, Pana- ma, Hawali, Japan, China, the Philippine Islands and India, while going bers, called the | active organization work is {forward in Denmark, Chile, Peru, | Egypt, Australia, Holland, Brasil |and other countries. Even with its restricted membership plan, thers are to-day upward of 65,000 Rotar- | ians in the world. 1 And yet this doesn't answer the | |-question, "What is Rotary?" The Rotary platform is based upon human service, It doesn't consider ja man a success unless he is of the | fullest possible value to his fellow men in helping them to greater hap- | piness, no matter whether is a money maker or not. 'The Roary {Club demands fair dealings, honest methods and high standards in busi- ! is the theme of the Rotary | platform; and its last clause, "He | profits most who serves best,"' has been adopted as the latter part of [the official slogan: "Service above | self-- ho profits most who serves best." This thought, implanted in | the life of one man, spreads to oth- ers, and a small group possessing the thought of unselfish service soon creates thy desire in gather men to do likewise. Hence the rapid spread of the Rotary idea, However, these facts should be borne in mind, lest it be thought that Rotary is forcing itself "upon the world: The growth of Rotary has been spontaneous. Never as'any time has the organization employed a paid organizer. On the other hand, ex- iAreme care has always been exer- cised in surveying cities and towns which apply for membership to make sure that such communities are ready for a Rotary Club and are of sufficient size to provide 'a member- ship of representative men and still have tha membership restricted co one man from each distinctive busi- ness or profession, although, occa- sionally, one additional representa- tive from the same firm is permitted. This plan of restricted membership insures the fullest possible repre- sentation of the community, while at the same time it is impossible for the membership to become large and unwieldly; united action is easler with a small group; the diversified representation provides an ideal for- up for thy discussion of local prob- hiems; no one line of business or pro- fession can dominate the group; and the smallness of the club permits of the enforcement of the attendance rule, which requires that any mem- ber be automatically removed from the roster if he be absent four times, in succession. This insistence upon regular attendance has given the Ro- tary Club the record of having the largest average attendance of all or- ganizations of business and profes- sional men. In December, 1920, the average for all of the clubs of the United States and Canada was 77.40 ne ness," | Girls, Walt Mason THE POET PHILOSOPHER THE USUAL LUCK. In Kansas, where I lived for years, the winters were a fright; the north wind came and froze my ears when in my bed at night. The snow was always ankle deep, and filled my) heart with pain, and murky heavens used to weep twelve kinds of chill- ing rain. And so I said, "I'll seek a clime where winter isn't known, | where there is neither snow nor rime, and blizzards do not groan." And so | I pitched my moving tent upon a/{ sunny shore, where weather prophets | "don't lament, and groundhogs weep | no more. And then the Kansas cli- | mate braced, and sprung a great re- torm; no blizzards o'er her prairies | chgsed, the air was mild and warm. 'The sweetest winter ever seen," my | correspondents say; "the skies are blue, the grass is green, the jazz- birds sing all day." And on the sea- shore where I sit, the shore by long | | waves lashed, the old inhabitants ad- j mit that records have been smashed. | "The (coldest winter we have seen,' ! these nt men remark, 'since we came o'er the billows green in Noah's costly ark." And should I back to | Kansas go, where all the prospects | please, the clouds would dump six feet of snow and I would promptly freeze. Alas, this is the sort of thing | that always has been mine, and yet I'm happy as a king, so many things are fine. | ~--WALT MASON. | | BTS OF BY LAY Copyright, 1920, by The Cincinnati Enquirer.
