Isn't there something new under the
sun, In spite of the proverb? Any
way, that is the sort of school
that has been going on at Evanston,
Ill. right in the vacation days of
1 summer.
Moreover, this National Secretarial
I school is believed to be a project of
. far-reaching Importance in the bust
Z ness and civic life of the country.
John Ihlder. manager of the civic de-
.veiopment department of the Chamber
! Of Commerce of the United States,
4; speaking for himself and for Presi-
dent Joseph III. Defrees, puts the stu
alton like this:
The American business man today
! stands I'm a position of greater respon-
sibility and greater opportunity than
ever before in our history, for we are
Becoming predominantly an urban and
business nation. His responsibility
\ cannot be discharged, his opportunity
met by individuals acting separately
they must organize The character
and purpose of the business mans or
4 ganizatlons therefore are of first i'm
I portance TO the nation. Not only must
they be publIc-spirited and propose to
I serve constantly and definitely the
common interests of their community,
1 but In order that they may so serve
/ they must know that good intentions
(; alone never produce results.
-The effectiveness of a commercial
or trade association depends in large
measure on the secretary. As he in
I creases In knowledge and understand
ing, not only of his own business tech
4 nique and of his local field but of
The general principles that underlie
/ and affect all business and civic in
1 terests, he. viii become increasingly
valuable TO his organization and TO
American business generally.
THE National School for Commercial
Organization Secretaries will give 10
these men in short time what II
would take years for them TO learn in
dividually. and will in, addition give
them sense of their common problems
and responsibilities which can be Sc
cured only by group of men repre-.
emitting many communities studying
eir problems impersonally and under
Die leadership"
President X. Il. Reach of the Nm.
4 uonal Association of Commercial Or
I ganization Secretaries sees In the at
tendance Of nearly 200 a real demand
and real field of service for the train
ing course. He says:
1T will create a sound. proctica,
basis for chamber of commerce service
as a result of which the cbam.
bers Of commerce of this country NAV
expect the highest efficiency and com.
potency in business administration
and in the execution of their varied
activities"
