who are not proving that the Golden Rule in business works The restric- ted membership is for the purpose of promoting freedom of expression and broadening each member by bringing him into close personal contact with representative men in different lines of business than his own.
 The objects of the Rotary club are to promote the recognition of the wor- thiness of all legitimate occupations and to dignify each members occupa- ton as affording him an opportunity to serve society; to encourage high ethical standards in business and the professions; to increase the efficiency of each member by the exchange of ideas and business methods; to pro- mote the scientizing of acquaintance as an opportunity for service and an aid to success; to quicken the interest of each member in public welfare and to cooperate with others in civic development.
 Rotary, in fact. may be called an organization of service and for ser vice. Rotarians have learned to un- derstand one another and have gained q better perspective of their relations to each other. their community. their country ana the NDTlu. ne UlttAlilEE of Rotary clubs are noted for a high percentage of attendance, a wholesome good fellowship. the constant inven- tion of new stunts" or methods for making the members better acquain- ted and for developing the spirit of genuine service. The enthusiasm of Rotarians for Rotary is spontaneous and is grounded upon knowledge gained from experience that the effort to practice the principles of Rotary means a happier. better and more successful life. Realizing that for mality and good fellowship do not mix well Rotarians have busted for mality from their meetings and from their relation with one another.

Novem Der 12, 1908. The movement spread rapidly from this time, clubs being organized in Oakland Seattle and Los Angeles within the year.
