FINE SPEAKER YESTERDAY

Nearly fifty members of the Kenosha
kiwanis Club met at their weekly din
ner at Hotel Kenosha on Tuesday. a
Several items of Importance came up
with reference to affairs of the city
and of the club. The attendance prize
was donated by Sydney, the Market
street photographer, and won by Secre-
tary Trenary. President Kissow Of the
Racine club, was present and brought
the greetings of the northern neighbor.
There is scarcely a dinner that does
not have one or more visitors from
other clubs. The Racine club meets ON
Monday, the Kenosha on Tuesday, the
Milwaukee on Wednesday, the Chicago
on Thursday, ETC., to give the oppor-
tunity of different club members
to enjoy the dinners and programs of
the neighbor club.
Silent boosters were Henry DeBerge
and Tom Temple. At the plate of
each member were articles setting
forth the quality and advantages
of things dealt in at the two stores
on Main street
A stirring address on "The Value Of
Systematic Study was given by Will
liam Ramselle, advertising manager Of
the Cedar Rapids Republican and
Times. Mr.. Ramselle began with a
very apt little poem entitled "Some-
body Knows the purport of which is
hot boE,, he +bo
everyday man who applies himself
possibly little more Systematically
and little more enthusiastically than
those who are less successful. Mr..
Ramselle told very interesting little
story of how he had risen from an i'm
migrant working in a coal mine in
Iowa, with a wife and several children
to support, to a position of Importance
and responsibility as advertising man
ager through his course in cores
pondence school. He emphasized very
earnestly the distinction between sim
ply reading and reading Systematically
by following definite outlined course
of study.
The odds against Mr.. Ramselle la
bored were indeed discouraging and
the example of his life gave a very
forciful lesson of the value of per-
sistence. In his case even his wife was
against his buying the course, because
she felt that they could very poorly
afford from the family the money
necessary to pay for it.
The speaker IS a man possibly forty
years of age and yet he has every
indication of very set determination
to Ego up
One of the parts Of the address dealt
very forcibly with the changed attitude
of big business toward the public and
towards it's own employees within the
last few years. The speaker alleged
that the extension courses of practical
ly all the great universities of today
were nodded upon those of the cores
pondence school and made the asser-
tion that in hundreds of these univer-
stiles text books published by the J..
G.. S. were the text books used. He

entitled, cit is the Man." This was
to emphasize the fact that unless enc
uses the implements of advancements
they are of course Of no avail. 1t is
another of those typically helpful
meetings that the members of the XII
wants Club are profting by every week.
