the four men who II years ago con.

tAS iour men VINO IL years ago con-
ceived the idea of Rotary club.
Governor Hill gave a most inter-
esting talk dealing with the growth
and ideals of Rotary. He said in
part: Rotary has taught the world
that there is nothing more dignifed
than an honest business honestly
conducted He then told of the
idea which usedsto be very common
that a business man could not be
honest because one man in business
deal would have to beat the other
and said that Rotary had done away
with this mistaken notion.
He said that Rotary was originally
founded for the purpose of bringing
business men together where they
could discuss their problems and
where they could get better acquaint-
ed with each other. The founders
had no idea that they wre founding
an International society, but Rotary
today is truly international in scope.
The constitution which was recently
adopted helps 10 make it so. Gov
ernor Hill. or Bob" as the rules of
Rotary require the members to call
him. told of the delegates from
Great Britain and Cuba who have at
tended international meetings OF
Rotary and he said that they have
conception of Rotary such as the
members of this country have never
known. They are. however, teach
ing it to the Rotarians of this coun-
try through the international meet
ihgs.
With regard to the rule Of the club
that but one representative from a
profession or business shall be a
member of the club. the Governor
said that some un-thinking persons
call the club selfish. but that there
is a strong reason for this rule. This
is So that each member may G q
representative of Rotary to the men
Of his line of business in the city.
They are expected to apply the prin-
ciples of good fellowship TO their
business and unless he does so he
is not living up to his trust. Rotary
is Judged by the appearance Of its
members and for that reason if for
no other. they must always uphold
the principles which have become
world wide.
Governor Hill complmented the
Augusta Club on its attendance and
good fellowship. He said that II he
belonged to a club such as this. he
would not allow the officers to sus-
pen d meetings during the summer
as the members were in that way he
ing deprived of a fine chance to get
together and enjoy measure Of
friendship such as only Rotary can
produce. He also said that he was
proud to see such fine bunch OF
mon turn out for this meeting.
