men at weekly luncheon tables? So
far, nothing has been said here on
the ethical side Of the movement,
which was not insisted upon in the
original constitution of Mr.. Paul P.
Harris. What may be said is that
the ethics and the philosophy OF Ro-
tary have emerged as a natural
consequence Of the terms of asso-
citation. Get together representa-
tives of many different interests
and the casus faederis will neces-
sarily be proportionately wide and
general. Rotarians are, each of
them, of a vocational classification,
and included in such classification
are such different callings as those
of the lawyer, the banker, the doc
tor, the ironmonger, the engineer,
the draper, and the tailor Insist
that the chosen representative shall
be known as progressive and reli-
able, sound financially, and of good
business repute, and you have a
grouping of men who cannot COM
bine on any other than high prin-
| c:ples for common action.
Without any avowed raison d'etre
in religion, Or even in ethics, rotary
has nevertheless discovered it's in
ner or spiritual self. The weekly
| lunch time address, and the month
| ~ paper read for discussion after
dinner, have been generally of an
uplifting and educational kind be-
fitting an assembly which includes
| business and professional men of
| high standing. A conception, there
fore, of business dignity and bust
ness ethics began to be formed in
the minds Of rotarians, which found
terse expression in the motto "Ser-
vice-not Self" or alternatively
He profits most who serves best"
AS these ideals were consequent on
anG not antecedent to the founda-
ton of the movement, they may be
regarded as accepted in the spirit
as we'll as in the letter by those
who have hal personal share in
their PRONUNCIATION. A rotarian is
/ ipso facto one who takes the SER
vice view of business, not in the
| cynical sense indicated at the op-
ening of this article. but as a re-
suit of sincere belief in its applica-
bility.
with this motto in front of us, -
writes Mr.. Stephenson in his pam
phlet, "our whole business outlook
is changed: the sun shines more
brightly in the heavens, little deeds
OF kindness to clients and staff
come naturally; for who can cult
vate the spirit of service at all
without bringing it into his entire
life? 8. go. And when a rotarian

sen must be one which busy men
could spare, and thus the first Ro-
tary Club became luncheon club,
by which Mr.. Harris's third, or So
cial, condition was also achieved.
From one Rotary Club in one
city, with membership of few
hundrers, to upwards OF 300 with a
membership Of $4,000 is a long leap,
and 16 years Give of them war
years) is a short time in which to
have taken 1t. The explanation lies
in the inherent excellence Of the
idea and In the axiom that good
news travels fast"
The Chicago Club was a success
from the first. The luncheons prov
ed to be all that their founder had
hoped for, and more also. Men Of
different trades and professions dis
covered common interests that
would have otherwise been unsus-
pected.
The after-lunch 10 minutes bust
ness talk proved useful and helpful
to each to understand the point of
view Of another.
Spread To Great Britain
Politics and religion were forbid
den as subjects of discussion, and
conflicting interests were non-exist-
ent. Almost Immediately, other cit
les founded their Rotary Clubs on
the same fundamental lines, but
with varying local conditions. In a
few years there were as many as
200 American clubs and the news Of
the new movement spread to Great
Britain. In 1911, 1t took root in
this country, beginning in small
way in London and Manchester,

from America reported on their ex-
periences OF Rotary" and proposed
that the British clubs be conducted
on identical principles. At first, our
experiments were tentative. but the

"SERVICE-NOT SELF" MOTTO OF
ROTARIANS SAYS LONDON TIMES
CORRESPONDENT AFTER MEETING

Rotary was free from literal OBJ
legations and restrictions, and
what 1t now Is, is what 1t has be-
come by the cooperative spirit and
action of those whom 1t brought to-
gether.
rirat Circle And Afterwards
The original idea OF Rotary was
simply social association, in a cir.
Gle Of limited width, of men n their
vocational capacities. In a pamph-
let, published in 1915, on Rotary:
It's History, Interpretation, and Pos
sibilities," Mr.. Thomas Stephenson,
late Hon, secretary of the British
Association Of Rotary Clubs, records
that the originating mind was that
Of Mr.. Paul Harris, a Chicago law
yer. He had for some time been
thinking out the question of a
business circle" for the purpose of
mutual improvement and informa-
ton on various business matters.
He saw that an essential to sue
cess in such a circle would be that
there should be no conflicting inter-
ests, and therefore no petty jealous
les. Then there must be regular
meetings with obligatory attendan-
ces, and lastly, social element in
the deliberations.
To secure his first object Mr.
Harris decided that each member of
the circle must represent differ
ent calling. In the year 1905 he ap-
preached several men whose pur-
suits were entirely different from
his own to join him in his initial ef-
forts.
His second object was secured by
decision that the hour to be cho-

Editors note.-The appended ar
ticle is a reprint from a recent Is
sue Of the London Times, written
by special correspondent at the
time of the convention in Edinburg,
Scotland. The copy OF the paper
was forwarded to the Journal at
the suggestion OF Mr.. c. A. Miller,
this city,
That Service not Self" should

tivity is an ideal TO which it is
open to all traders alike to profess
their devoted loyalty. When, there
fore, there assemblies an Interna-
tional Convention representing a
movement of business men who are
pledged to the practical observance
Of this precept, the natural question
will be asked in what way they
differ from the rest of the business

What precisely Is implied by
membership OF those Rotary Clubs
whose delegates, to the number OF
some $500, are assembling this
week in Edinburgh, the American
contingent of 1900 having crossed

tered liners? The answer is as diff
cult to give precisely as would be
the answer to the question. What
is a Freemason?" and perhaps the
best way to approach 1t is to look
back over q short space of time to
the origin of the idea upon which
Rotary was founded In so doing one
learns that, as with many other
worldwide organizations, the orig
inal idea was one of simplicity,
| breadth, and faith in human nature.

asks a service of another, that ser.
vice is always spelt with capital
letters, and is rendered in a capt.
tai spirit.
1t follows that collective service
of the community is accepted by
the rotary movement, and the COM
ing of the Great War a few years
after the formation of the move
ment in Great Britain gave it its
chance to act naturally in the ma
tons emergency. Each club i'm
mediately took up patriotic work OF
one kind or another. The two lead
ing Scottish cities raised and equip
ped Bantams' battalions: overseas
clubs for soldiers from America
and the Dominions were started and
maintained; flag days for wounded
soldiers, equipments of motor-am-
balances, homes for Belgian refu-
gees, employment for disabled sol
diers, and companies Of special con-
stables were organized by various
clubs, in all cases with the success
that comes of the right spirit and
Of efficiency. Rotary could not at
ford not to succeed in service co.'s
lectively undertaken.
Without undue optimism, 1t may
be foreseen that, so far from the
likelihood of a future declension
from the ideal standard it has set
up, the standard will be raised even
higher in the years to come. Our
American friends have adopted a
philosophy of service" of their own,
of which Mr.. Arthur Frederick Shell
don, of Chicago. editor of The Bust
ness Philosopher is the pastor and
master. Mr.. Sheldon would have 1t
as a natural law that the best pro-
fit awaits the truest service. "Take
care of cause" he writes in re-
cent paper, land effect will take
care of itself. Travel carefully and
we'll the road Of the means to the
end, and you will arrive safely at
the end in view 49,. The best way
in the world really to apply the
principle of service is really to prac-
tise the golden rule"
In this avowed association with
the thics of Christianity, the Rotary
movement presents a practical an

British religious organizations, have
lately been calling for the applica-
ton of the Gospel teachings to the
conduct of business. Our American
visitors arrive in this country at a
time when there is almost universal
realization of the insufficiency OF
purely materialistic maxims in busl-

Gently denounced by Lord Robert
Cecil, is Business is Business.
There is an attempt of all classes
who serve with brains and with
hands as producers and distrl'"-
tors to get out OF the vortex OF
conflicting interests into the upper
air of fellowship and cooperation.
The programme of the Edinburgh
Convention will enable Britons and
Americans to hear each others
views on all questions that affect
their relations between each other
as business men and communities.
Its effect will be, it is hoped, the
establishment of a closer co-ordin-
alton between Rotarians Of the two
countries and the Dominions, which.
while preserving to each it's dis
tinctive national autonomy, will lead
to a general removal of causes of
friction, and the raising of the
whole tone OF those international
trade relations upon which the
peace of the future world is likely
to turn even more than in the past.
