thing good to eat
Skceter Hunt was chairman of
the entertainment committee and
called upon Jed % make a report Of
their tlu o. Galveston. While
think Jed thought this was passing
the buck as Skecter b. secretary he
arose % the occasion and gave as
good report which Is as follows:
OF the meeting Of the presidents
and secretaries which was held at
Galveston. the object of the meeting
was % discuss the different prob
lens that confront the clubs and try
90 solve them FOrty-seven out OF
the sixty-four clubs in Texas were
represented. The international Com
mittee has decided il will be neces-
sarv for towns to show sixty differ
ent classifications before they will
be given charter. Therefore, we
we're lucky 20 get a charter when
we did. II is necessary for all mem
beers 20 leave a written excuse with
the secretary when they are going 20
be- out of town for more than one
meeting. II absent more than four
meetings in succession they viii be-
automatically dropped.
Lutcher Stark Of Orange, Texas,
made an excellent talk on the inn
portance Of all Rotarians support
mg the University in any way they
can. lie emphasized the Importance
of the Legislature granting all APP
preparations asked for by the Board
II Regents. Lutchcr Is president
of the Board and states that in ASK
ing for these appropriations they
cut out every unnecessary thing in
making their budget and that when
the legislature cuts down these
amounts asked for lt simply means
that some part of the University rs
TO be neglected.
The most important action taken
was the resolution discussed 10
raise St5,0000O this year 20 assist
in carrying out the boy scout move
ment. At present there are 25O,-
900 boys in Texas who are eligible
10 be scouts, but only 10000 belong
to this organization At present one
man is trying 10 look after all of
this work. The Rotary Club pro-
poses to raise $4,000 with which
to pay the salary and expenses of
three additional organizers. These
organizers will be sent TO any com
mittee asking assistance and see
that the boy scout councils are or
ganized. By doing this the Rotary
hopes to raise the number OF boy
scouts in Texas during the coming
year.
Excellent talks were also made
in regard 10 the work Rotary is do
ing among the crippled children.
A great deal of time was also taken
To- discuss the means of keeping boys
in school by helping them secure
work outside of their school hours
with which to defray their expenses.
A number Of clubs have already
done a great deal of good IN help
ing BOYS through colleges. The Dali
las club alone has financed some
thing over one hundred boys IN this
manner.
Beaumont was selected rs the
