way in which to appeal to the boys
who above all others have greater
and keener senses of justice and de-
sire to do things.
Boys want to do things, They
want to do things worth while. Show
them how and where and when to do
things as young citizens and they will
surprise you by their achievements
Repress them and they'll do bud
things. 1t takes just as much steam
to back-up as it does to go ahead.
Remember, that the lessons of life
teach that character is safe only
when work, not mental processes, be-
comes the measure of education as
it must be the measurement Of all
citizenship. This Youth Achievement
movement, which I consider it an
honor to lead, is the practical solu-
ton of the educational mysteries
which seem to puzzle an advancing
world today.-The Rotarian.

that acre assisted his boy to do this
stunt. A boy in the adjoining
county, who did net have afather's
assistance, planted corn on a piece Of
jack pine land and raised only fifteen
bushels of corn. He was laughed
at as a disgrace to the corn club.
However this jack pine land corn boy
really achieved more than all the
others, for farmers agreed that new
err before were fifteen bushels of corn
raised on such land and they were
astonished that the boy secured any
corn at all.
You men would consider it an in
suit, if any man or organization for
city improvement or civic righteous
ness should consieer the only way in
which they could secure your parti-
cipation in their work was to offer
each one of you a momentary prize
for your interest and achievements.
Yet you assume that this is the only

or any city could be during these
coming months, this school vacation
period which is one, Of the most SEN
seless traditional usages handed
down from the dark ages, wherein we
turn onto the streets in idleness our
thousands of active limbed and acute
Drained children. The city itself
could be made the great school of
real education and citizen building.
Boys and girls should be seeking
something to do with no thought of
reward other than to be counted as
first citizens and to be knighted as
preferred citizens as were the aristo-
Gratis of long ago.
Then would appeal TO every bust
ness man to acknowledge this peer
age of labor, and thus make the
badge of far greater value than all
gold, by giving the preference in Sc
lecting boys for work to that youth
who had found himself because of
actual accomplishments. As BUSH
ness men you know that we are look
ing, for boys that do things. The
badge of our Achievement League
would tell you that this boy had done
something worth while-not what
some adult had helped him to do but
something he had done by himself.
Business men deplore the lack of
concreteness and confidence and good
common sense displayed by the ordin-
airy boy graduate from the grammar
and the high school. One Chicago
merchant, employing one hundred
boys, stated to me that these one hun
dred boys were the stickers out of one
thousand who had been given a try
out. That is, only one out of every
ten boys is able to prove valuable for
an ordinary business job.
What is the trouble with our boys
and with our schools? I'll tell you.
No incentive is offered boys, in
our educational system, to apply
their formal instruction to the accom-
plishment of things in a world of
reality.

change the school house into his or
her laboratory. Then this one child
would be receiving the only education
possible for the manufacture of an
efficient citizen.
The school should be a citizen fac
tory, not a manufaccu&y of parts.
AS a factory the school system
lacks the assembling room.
Achievement is the assembling
room of the citizen factory.
Any reward offered to a boy out
side of that which the accomplish
ment brings is a confidence game. It
begets real theft on the part of many
boys and these boys are many times
ably assisted by their parents.
l know of a case where a boy Sc
cured a valuable prize of fifty dol
lars for raising the greatest number
of bushels of corn per acre. This
boys father told me that he himself

million dollars which they will have
to pay at some future date.
The price some boys and girls
will be called on to pay for what we
choose to call free education is ap-
palling; the price in non-efficient
citizens as well as in financial debts.
l want you men to enter into a re-
verse plan than that now accepted
for development of boys. Let US
dignity youth by demanding that the
first citizens of the land shall be the
boys who are right. Among the
boys who are right are: the boy who
will not accept charity; the boy who
achieves; the boy who is square; the
boy who refuses rewards for the per-
Torrance of duty; the boy who con-
siders thing well done is worth the
purchase price of his labor and re-
fuses the trading stamp rewards in
addition.
Perhaps our public school system
cannot provide incentive for achieve
ment. am not discussing this. At
any rate we in the world outside can

would first form into young citi-
zen's achievement leagues all boys
who have achieved things. These
would be the charter members In a
city and a nation wide movement. 1t
should not be definite stiff, artifi-
cial, machine-like club of boys. 1t
should be a great national innpulsiye
movement of thought and deeds. No
boy could be identified with this
movement, which would be the aris-
tocracy of labor, unless he presented
! a certificate signed by the proper Of
ficial, testifying that this boy had
achieved something and definitely
reciting that achievement.
A simple emblem of achievement is
the insignia of this American aris-
tocracy. This badge or coat lapel
button bears one star for each
achievement. The first certificate
is represented by a star fused into
this badge and would be signed by
the superintendent of Schools. The
second certificate for an additional
achievement is to be signed by the
President of the Rotary Club or some
business or civic organization. The
certificate for the third achievement
is to be signed by the mayor of the
city. The fourth certificate viii Be
signed by the Governor of the State
and the fifth, If any lad under the
age of eighteen years shall have ac-
complished an achievement worth
while, by the President of the United
States.
No money, no influence, no family
name or political pull could secure
for any child this badge of peerage
Work, labor and achievement only
could get it.

ROTARIANS DO
THINGS AND DO
THEM CORRECT
By JUDGE WILLIS BROWN.


Rotarians are men who do things
and do them right at the right time
and in the right place. Rotarians
are men who achieve. How about
the boys, your boy, my boy, the boys
in general? Are they achieving
things. l am sorry " say ths<rec-
ords show that very few are achiev-
ing.
As a Judge in court / was continu-
ally confronted with boys who were
achieving. True, their achievements
were harmful and illegal ones, but
nevertheless they illustrated inven-
tive genius, bravery, determination,
labor, in fact, all the elements which
must be used lin all constructive and
helpful achievements.
The real good boy often becomes
the good for nothing boy.
Goodness, without achievement,
may grow a pauper, just as readily
as badness, with achievement, may
form a criminal.
The good pauper may be as dam
gerous to society as the bad achiever.
am first for the boy who does
things good things.
Second, for the boy who does
things-bad things.
Third, for the boy who is merely
passively good.
The last is the more hopeless.
BY our sentimentality for youth
unconsciously we. are manufacturing
lot of useless young citizens. We
liddie the boy, give him free turkey
dinners, hikes and camps, free litera
ture and free Fairgrounds. We coa1

fun reward. We persuade him Il

We try to build up character il
boys on trading stamp basis, by of
fering something in addition to wha

We have patronized boys to sucl
an extent that every boy is hero.
If boy is lazy, it is a disease.
If a boy is untruthful, his teetl
need repairing.
If boy is a thief, his food is no

If boy is truant, his teacher il

If a boy is a wanderer, it is mari
of adolescent development.
If boy is cruel, there is an undu,

Some of these reasons may excus

a dangerous thing to have boys ex

CHANCES FOR POOR BOYS

The acquisition of great wealth is
not the best object in life by any
although very large proportion Of
the worlds population is seemingly
living on the theory that all they are
on earth for is the piling up of as much
wealth as possible, however it may be
done, and however little use it may
be to them. Very often they ruin
their health and their capacity for en-
joying life by their struggle for rich
es and not infrequently they die about
the time they have acquired fortune
and are ready to sit down and enjoy
life. The accumulation Of riches never
brings happiness and often it destroys
all chances for happiness, breaks up
homes and families and brings far
more misery than pleasure.
Nevertheless, it is a fact that the
world generally measures success by
the amount of riches one may be able
to gather together. That this is a
false standard of success in life, but
it is a standard that many people use
in reckoning ones success. Under that
standard the chances Of the one born
poor in the United States is vastly SUI
superior to the chances ofone born poor
in any other country of the world. DIR.
Conwell Of Philadelphia has spent
some years in investigating the lives
of millionaires. He has found that Of
4,043 American millionaires, most Of
whom were born about sixty years
ago, all but twenty started life as poor
boys. In no other country in the world
could that have been possible. And
the chances for poor boys to gain
wealth are still good.-Anaconda

BEST MEDIUM FOR PUBLICITY

Hugh Chalmers, head Of an automo.
bile corporation of the same name, re.
marked to the ad club that "newspa
pers are the most profitable medium OF
publicity" and added that 'he does not
place advertising copy with newspa-
pers because he agrees with their ed.
itorials, but because they have circu-
lation and reach the people,"
The statement of the reason for ad-
vertising through the papers is a
sound statement and is we'll expressed.
The fact that Mr.. Chalmers advertises
heavily through the press and is sue
cessful in business adds the weight and
force of experience to his views.
The newspaper has proven itself in
strenuous competition with other me-
diums of publicity to form the most eff
fective means of reaching the public.
The intelligent advertiser uses the pa
per without regard to its political po-
sition or editorial expressions upon
questions of public policy He buys
advertising space, not because the pa
per is of this party or that sect, but
because it has the circulation among

100000. Many people think that
but Thyra Samter Winslow declares
according to a writer in the Philadel-
phia paper that Dolly Madison was
merely the first person to serve it in
America. This was at a White
House reception. The guests liked
ice cream so well that they asked
how it was made and from this small
beginning the ice cream business has
grown to its enormous proportions.
It is said the first ice cream was made
by a L..ion confectioner, but his
methods Of freezing were crude and
uncertain. 1t remained for Nancy
johnson, the wife Of an American
naval officer, to invent the ice cream
freezer. Sixty dishes year is the
average consumption in America.
