was that the club needed to get into closer
touch with the earners of wages The
great problems of the times, he said were
the problems of the poorer classes, and to
accomplish good for all the people the club
should take up that work it should come in
touch with leaders in conferences and other
wise.
Mr. Gregory, speaking as one who had
viewed the work of the City Club from
distance. said that he felt as did the woman
who looked upon a steam fire engine for
the first time-she was surprised that so
much water could come from SO small an
apparatus.
Alexis Aladyn said that the American idea
was getting root in Russia. There had been
a great change in the past twenty-five years.
and now men were not chosen because of
their lineage. but because of their worth.
He felt more at home with the American
