 MI tottuCCoIs III uIoCuSblHR lHter- national Rotary at Work" after touching on the strength of Rotary and the spirit of the organization in making better men, outlined the fields of work in which the organi- zaton can best serve. He empha- sized boys work, the slow process of Americanization, and the re-vitaliza- tion of education. "The history of democracy has been written in the schools" he quoted "In the schools lies our field of service. They must be re-established; teachers must be paid sufficient to obtain the best teachers there are, and the schools must be well equipped.
 Speaking of Rotarv's opportunity for the betterment of relations be- tween employer and employe, Mir Snedecor said that it must be recog- nized that this is a human question and that it must be acknowledged that every worker has an interest in his work and that he should have just share in it's profits.
 Each Rotarian, he said, could best help by solving this problem as it applies to him, for himself. Rotary is g world organization, Snedecor said, and predicted that it's influence in time would bring about better relations between the nations, none of which, he declared, no longer can be regarded as iso- lated.
 Cities Present Claims.
 "I have faith that there will be a league of nations with the United States as participant" he said. This remark called forth prolonged cheering "In time nations must with dignity and honor lay their dis- rutes upon the table for adjudication. We will break faith with those who die if we do not work to this end.
 "As President Wilson has said.n i Snedecor concluded, "the men who do the business of the world now shape 1 the destinies of the world.
 "This is challenge to Interna- ] tional Rotary to see to it that the warfare of arms shall not be sue ceeded by the warfare of chicanery, intrigue and destructive competi- tion: that the commerce of the world shall hereafter be conducted upon high, ethical standards, and that it's competition shall be one of efficiency and quality and service that all men shall be taught to real- ize that "there is an honor in busi- ness that is the fine gold of it, that reckons with every man justly, that loves light and that regards fair dealing more highly than goods or prices or profits" X
