MAKE OUTSIDERS
BOOST YOUR CITY
DR.. William Boetcker Delivers
Address at MONDAY Luncheon
of Business Men.
INDIVIDUAL EFFORTS WIN
Must Put Something Into Community
and Not Take 1t All out-Larse
Crowd Hears Talk.

DIR. William ]. II. Boetcker of To-
ledo. Ohio. who is speaking under the
auspices OF the National Inside asso-
citation in a snappy address this noon
before a large assemblage of business
men at the Rock Island club, said that
the boosting of the city must start
within and without, and that such
good impression must be created that
outsiders will naturally boost the city.
The subject of DR.. Boetcker's address
was "a Better and a Greater City,
and How TO Build it mp by Developing
Natural and Human Resources"
Business Not Factor.
The business men are not the fun
damental factors in building up a city.
said the speaker. The average bust
ness man cannot find enough of his
valuable time for public duty. The
great curse of the American people OF
today is the Get the dollar spirit"
4 business man gets the wrong i'm
preston of taking everything he can
get out of the community, without put
ting anything into it. The Industries,
labor and capital are the vital necessi-
tres of a city's growth. Any industry
can locate in some unsettled portion of
the country and the laboring men and
business people will follow. But take
any number OF business men and start
an enterprise under the same condi-
lions. they would go bankrupt in y
hours.
Human Resources to Rule.
The time will come when human
-, off VII.
rule. and not aristocratic breeding
and wealth. as is the policy OF today,
declared the lecturer. Clildren are
brought up under the impression tnat
they are supposed TO go out into the
world and get everything they can
out OF IL, without bringing something
into the home, that they are merely
to be n money making machine. with
out a public duty to perform. Another
great handicap to progress OF the pres
ent day is committee work. Take one
man of your city. live wire. forceful,
and progressive, let him work alone
and he will accomplish much. On the
other hand take 10 men, all live wires,
form them together into n committee
and they will accomplish nothing
The moral delusion OF today. is, To
discuss things and not do them" He
closed by saying he hoped the day
would come when the teacher. who
trains the mind. would be paid as well
as the conductor. who does nothing
but conduct train.
DR.. Boetcker is a forceful and inter
esting speaker and the talk was en-
jcyed by everyone present This art
ernoon he addressed the students at
the high school. and this evening he
will appear at the Illinois theatre.
