The following kindly advice to mem
bers of the Evansville Kiwanis club,
appeared in one of Secretary c. w.
Seeley's bulletins:
Some stupid persons complain that
they are perplexed yer the method
of computing their income ak. Non
sense. 1t is absurdly simple. Take
you income tax. if you have one, and
add the number of your house and
divide it by the size of your hat. plus
your age. Substract your automobile
number. if you haven't IN automobile
your watch number will do. Add the
number of children you have less than
last months gas bill, less the average
weekly number of street car trips you
made in the three fiscal years imme-
diately preceding the war. Multiply
by your mother-in-law's age, minus
depreciation and repairs. Deduct your
life insurance premiums, less freight
and drayage, plus the number Of your
telephone and pay six per cent of the
results.

kiwanis and the City
of Great Falls

Kiwanians are and should be com
munity builders because Kiwanis pre-
eminently means, we Build" Hi
wants means, We Build the Individual
We Build the Community, because the
n cannot be built without the other.
Today the individual citizen cannot live
unto himself; he must also live for his
community. He must look upon the
world not merely from the viewpoint
of self, but also from the standpoint
of the welfare of his community as a
whole. So, kiwanis means, that to be
a good American citizen. it is not
enough for one to simply perform his
everyday work honestly and faithfully
but he must also be willing to give of
his time, energy and means to the com
munity in which he is permitted to live,
to work out his prosperity. and to real
lie his highest aspirations.
One cannot even regard his city with
selfish motives without seeing that he
in the best of condition. because the
better the city the better will be the
benefits, comforts and conveniences
that it can give to all it's inhabitants
OF necessity, the welfare of the citi-
zens depends upon that of the city in
which they live. 1t is the city that
touches US at all points in our daily
lives. 1t controls all the conditions BY
which we live and work out our being.
1t controls the condition of the water
we drink and with which our food is
cooked; it controls the condition of the
air that We BREATHE: and it controls
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-08-04

the condition Of the streets and alleys
upon which We walk or ride.
Now the first requisite to the main
tenance of a city in the best of condi-
ton is a genuine public spirit in its
citizenship, such a spirit which prompts
the citizen to take the same interest in
the administration of the affairs Of his
community as he manifests in the con-
duct of his private business. Such a
spirit can best be aroused and made to
90 effective work by the citizens of
the community, irrespective of political
Affiliations. regardless Of class or creed
and representing all the walks of life.

the purpose Of making an intelligent

Four years ago the international
secretary and one stenographer in a
small office did all the business.
Today, international headquarters
occupies $500 square feet of space.
There is a staff in addition to the
secretary. consisting Of six assistants
in charge of that number of depart
ments of service with one assistant
to a department head and 40 steno-
graphers, typists and clerks. Only
during the last year. it has been nee
essary to add the department of pub
licity and education. the reorganiZa-

Aid Under-P Privileged Children
The last year has been one of
phenomenal growth for International
Kiwanis. Daring that period the gem
eral programs suggested by interna-
tional has been carried out most en-
Enthusiastically by the clubs in the or
ganization. Nothing which Kiwanis ever
did and is doing has received greater
public recognition and commentator

"a future citizen" The adoption of
service Il under privileged children as
the activity in which all clubs may
cooperate marks a distinct advance in
the Development Of Kiwanis. This action
is therefore 10 be noted as one Of ey-
ceptional Significance.
Professor Bossard Of the University
of Pennsylvania has called attention TO
the strange fact that men have been
slow to help the child:
The child has been called the last
scrf of civilization. Instead of the
earliest objective of the efforts for hui
man betterment. as one might expect
because Of the fundamental character
of the parental instinct-the root of all
tenderness-he has been the most re
cent. For centuries. instinct and reason
failed to devlop an adequate regard for
childhood. From ST. Augustine to
Jonathan Edwards, the doctrine of
child depravity was held and practiced,
leading to insidious cruelty. or abnormal
repression. or Indifference at best
this. despite the lofty conceptions of
childhood proclaimed by the Great Gal
~lilean."

I'VE BUILD"

This is the motto of the Kiwanis
club. 1t is a great international Or
| ganization of men which knows no poIi-
tics or creeds, no Jews, no Gentiles. no
Catholics and no Protestants. II en-
braces the great religion of humanity
and goes forth with high idealism to
build into the best of Individual, civic
and national life. The world is divided
into two classes, the builders and the
destroyers. and the Kiwanian repre-
sents the first class.
There are many ways of building.
The soldier keeps the state in liberty
the farmers feed the people. the in
ventOrs multiply mans strength, the
physician keeps people in health, the
~iurists organize ideals into laws, the
teachers instruct our youth, the artists
inspire the esthetic and ministers set
high morals and spiritual standards.
Hence there is opportunity for us all
to become builders in some high and
noble pursuit. Civilization is a store
house containing seed for our sowing
weapons for our battles. wisdom for
our guidance. tools for our use. A
people that has no clothing, no tools,
no alphabet. no marriage and no litera-
ture is barbarous. These must all be
Dul1uEu Wy ihlo lbot III thibs We CdIl
civilization. and that is the object of
the Kiwanis club.
This means city building. The great
cities of history. Athens, Rome. Venice
and Florence, did not owe their fame
to the number but to the quality of
their inhabitants. Athens had a popu-
lation of only 10000 when it was at
its height. But the spirit of the in
habitants was superb as evidenced by
the Athenian oath. taken by every
freeman upon becoming of age.
The reason why Cleveland has be-
come the oil center of the world is
because John ID. Rockefeller lived
there. The same is true of Chicago
and the beef packing industry. Phil
Armour chose to reside there instead
of St. Louis or Indianapolis. Back of
the growth Of every city are great
builders-men who build factories.
stores, streets, Fairgrounds. recreation
al ccnters. art galleries, libraries.
schools and churches.
For it is our conviction that A civic
club should take as keen an interest in
the cultural and moral agencies of a
community as in the material and com
mercial. There is something more in
life than money and business and pleas
ure. If we are to hand down to future
generations the city of London better
thar We found it we must not overlook
those subtle spiritual forces which
after all are the most enduring and
worth while.

ing out some phase of service to the
under-privileged child.
In this field the clubs have an op-
portunity for a wide range of diversity
Of local expression and may yet feel
united in service with all other clubs.
Too much stress cannot be placed upon
! the conditioning adjective. under
privileged" The tendency of all service
work is TO move upward in the class of
the people helped. We must constantly
remind ourselves that the under
privileged" child, and not simply the
child in general is our field.
The distinctive character of Kiwanis
MS in organization of selected repre-
sentative men from business and pro-
fessional lines must be maintained. The
day Of Judgment is approaching for so
called luncheon clubs" kiwanis will
stand only if its organization is true
to its fundamental character. That club
which camouflages Considerations and
disregards sound membership provisions
is surely endangering its own future
and the continued growth and influence
of Kiwanis.
Not an Indian Name
4 real Kiwanis club is more than :.
bunch of good fellows" 1t is more
than an aggregation of two men from
each line of business and professional
life. It is the spirit that quickeneth a
club as well as IN individual. The club
without the soul of service and ideal
ism cannot live. Kiwanis must be kept
on the rock-the fundamental things
must be kept to.
The name Kiwanis is not an Indian
name. 1t is simply a word of seven
letters which. in itself, has no signi-

kiwanis is international in its or
ganization. Clubs can be instituted
only II the Dominion of Canada and
only in the Dominion of America. The
policy of kiwanis is to develop the

interesting to note in this regard that

of the United States and the president
of Mexico are all Kiawanians.
Billings Second Club in Stat,
1t was not until 1920 that any
club was chartered in Montana. At
that time this state was in no kiwanis
district. Great Falls was the first
city in the state in which a club was
instituted. A club was instituted there
on August 26, 1920. Billings then fol
lowed with a club in September. 1920,
and Missoula with Il club on April II.

When the foregoing clubs were in
stituted, no club could be chartered
without an initial membership of 80
members. Two men could be taken
in from each business or profession.
AT the late international convention
the minimum membership for clubs
has been reduced TO 80.
At the Cleveland convention in 1920.
Montana was organized into a district
by itself. This was the twenty-eighth
district and the last district in Kiwanis

tana district has been most encourag-
ing. When the men of this district
appreciated what kiwanis really was
and what it stood for. they were anxi-
Ii to institute clubs in their vari-
Gus communities even though business
conditions were not of the best.

The first group of men assembled under the name of XII
wants met in Detroit, Mich, in January, 1915, little realizing at
that time the phenomenal growth which the organization would
later experience.
For a few years, Kiwanis lay dormant and it did not strike
its pace. The year 1918, when Perry S. Patterson of Chicago be-
came international president and O. Samuel Cummings was the
secretary, the turning point came. From then on, with a def
mite International policy adopted, the movement began to grow.
Each succeeding year has seen a wonderful increase in the num-

community to secure that remedy.
Such an organization is the kiwan's

object of it's organization includes the
studying and improving of the condi-
