 vrFinia Rotarlan speaks.
 In opening his remarks eJoe" sass 2, that his trip here today has boosted hif regard for New England and it's people and he really believed they were just af good as those in his ovn state. that be ing some compliment
 His talk in part was as follows:
 In starting my talk on Rotary Educa- tion let me quote this brief saying hne Rotarian. TT you want 10 get enthu. sastic about anything you must arz get the spirit of it. that's Rotary" Ro- tary differs from other things. he said Some are born Eith the Rotary spirit. some acquire 1t during their hfe. but no one ever had 1t thrust upon him
 Rotary Is an idea and 10 get It right you
 must hear it talked about. then digest
 t In your own way and make t yours
 The biggest problem Rotary faces to-
 day Is the classification problem. Thsrs
 k a tendency to sub-divide too much.
 This must be avoided particularly hy | the Younger ciubs. An easy way to
 classify is told in the poem entitled l Either You Is. or You Amt" Either you is a Rotarian. or you ain't You
 can't be half Is and half ain't, nsfthef
 can you be half ain't and half is yod
 either is a Rotsrian or you ain't."
 Remember that when you become
 Rotarian, Rotary simply loaned to yos
 classification and if you can't ffi
 then step out and let someone in wh.
 can Secretaries of clubs will do well fs
 remember this little verse when they mo- tice member who seems to be a hall l "is'er'' and half ''ain'ter" Your fool Is slipping, and so Is our attendance h Is our attendance. Is it your foot " , Rotary believes in boys work and ev. cry Rotarian. if he is a father or not should look to the boy. teach him the , things you want him to know. remember 2 that a word of advice here and little 3 sympahy and guidance there oftentimet . decides for the boy what he will hs when man. By your own action show
 that boy what he might be when he Is a man. He needs your support. and you l should give 1t; that's Rotary. Many a Q boy and man too, has been made ths < success he Is by someone paying atten- 2 ton when he first steps out. Show tho l fellow making his first try that you are
 interested in him. encourage him and hs F will be a success that's Rotary. f Rotary is the application of every day r. principles of life. as old as man. Helr y the. other fellow. pass out your ideas. \ - they're good they'll stick, If poor you'll d hear of it first, but keep on trying. Thi, o is what makes 6 Rotariaa. and If yor b can't fill the bill step out and let some
 one in who will. On an old bridge '
 the Balkans constructed by the Ronani 8 Is the inscription. "Others gone befofi V have built the road. we. too. must butlt r way; that's Rotary. and it's as elt s as man. Be like the pagan who said l, q am a Man and all that touches Maj
 touches me" You can do 1t. don't duci IF out and say. They should do t." say if I've should do It. and then do It. Don IF expect praise, a Rotarian should con
 sume hLs own smoke. Remember tha n the steam that blows the whistle doe not make any machinery go. Remembe ! everything that we give away we ge V back. paid back thousand fold, that g Rotary.
 The keynote of the committee on edu if cation is not to show you or boss yor f- it's to try to get you to express Rstar' Id l make yuo think Rotary. study h. an r live 1t until it becomes a part of yo Ia and a part of it. Rotary Is an active as mi sociation and you must he active to gs ,g the best out of it. Remember that ,e you lose your active line you lose II lt terest and you expel yourself frol
