broken by some club somewhere. The latest achievement has been made by club on the Pacific Coast with six ty members which has made the re- markable and heretofore unheard of record of 100 per cent attendance, or every member present, not only at one meeting-which would be an unu- sual record in itself-but a 100 per cent attendance at seven consecutive meetings.

 The headquarters or central office of the International association is To- cated in Chicago. The work as carried on here is completely systematized into departments organized for rem dering efficient and individual service to all Rotary clubs. Constant con- tact is maintained with district gov ernors and committees as well as with each Rotary club through it's officials. "The Rotarian," large magazine devoted to Rotary, is published every month. The subscription list contains the names of not only the more than fifty thousand members of Rotary clubs but a large number of other in dividuals, who not members, are in terested from professional and busi- ness standpoint in the ideas promul- gated by the Service Crusaders" of the Twentieth century. Verbatim pro- ceedings of the International conven- tion are printed each year in book form. Hundreds of other bulletins and reports are published. The fact that more than one million copies of just reports and publications alone are printed annually will give fair idea of the volume of work handled at the central office of the associa- tion.
 Objects" of the Rotary Club
 The objects" of the Rotary club as set forth in the constitution of the Rotary clubs are:
 To encourage and foster:
 High ethical standards in business and professions.
 The ideal SERVICE as the basis of all worthy enterprises.
 The active interest of every Rotar- ian in the civic, commercial, social, and moral welfare of his community.
 The development of broad &C., quaintanceship as an opportunity for service as well as an aid to success.
 The interchange of ideas and of business methods as a means of in- creasing the efficiency and usefulness of Rotarians.
 The recognition of the worthiness of all legitimate occupations of each Rotarian as affording him an oppor- tunity to serve society.
 Rotary Club a Training School As the Rotary clubs now function they are organized to accomplish the betterment of the individual member and of his business both in practI- cal and in an ideal way; to accomplish the betterment of each members busi- ness and profession as a whole; and to accomplish the betterment of his home, his city, state and country. This is rather a broad platform but time has shown that the Rotary club is peculiarly fitted to take a leading part along with other civic and commercial organizations in the affairs of the community. The Rotary club is more than an organization; it is associated vision and effort; it is cooperative, not competitive, service. It transmutes kindly desires into helpful deeds, turns dreams into accomplished facts. It is training school in usefulness, where personal gain is subordinate to public good.
