Although the greater . number are in the United States, where the movement originated, there are now Rotary clu~s jn Canada, Newfoundland, Great Bntam, and Ireland, Spain, France, Norway, Denmark, · Holland, Belgium, Cuba, Argentina, ' Brazil, Uruguay, Peru. the Republic of Panama, South Africa, China, Japan, India, 'Au stralia, ~e~ Zealand, Philippine Islands, Hawau and Porto Rico. This growth seems all the more remarkable when one realizes that the organization has never at any time employed paid organizers. And in addition. extreme care ha s always been exercised in .surveying cities and towns applying for membershi p to make sure that such communities are ready for a Rotary club and are of sufficient size from which to securt' a membership of represe ntative men and still have th e membership restricted to one man from each business or profession.
