At the university Jack passed the
Wilmer form board test,
This explained DR.. Lightner
Wilmer, head of the psychology de-
partment, tests the child's intelli-
gence-his ability TO solve new
problems. Most children OF six years
pass Il, about so per cent of four
year-olds, about 25 pre- CEN Of
three-year-olds, but never before a
t~wo-year-old child"
The tests consist of removing
twelve differently shaped blocks
from a board and replacing them in
their proper holes within a specified
time.
In a memory test. Jack attained
the four-year level and in aesthetic
comparison, the f%ve-year level. This
gave him a mental age OF three years
eleven months and a rating of 1883
intelligent quotient, which is the
highest yet attained in the clinic by
a child.

Rotary international works through
the innumerable personal and individ-
ual contacts of this universal ex-
change. 1t must exist as an aroused
sense of personal and individual re-
sponsibility, and net as a beautiful
cloUd floating above our heads.
Rotary principles must germinate
in the heart and mind of every in
dividual Rotarian. Otherwise our
visions viii be as fleeing as the glory
/ of a sun-gilded cloud city that glitters
but an hour.
Bad citizenship and lack Of business
principles go hand in hand, and good
citizenship and right business prac-
tees are equally inseparable.
The ties of society teach us to re-
spect one another, but the best way
to respect Others. is by respecting the
/ law and following honorable business
ethics.
Rotary demands three business obi
gations-sincerity in affirming, SIM
I plicity IN bargaining and faithfulness
in performing. And / may add that
good citizenship is a business obliga-
/ tion.
In free governments public opinion
i is supposed to be the controlling OF
shaping influence in public policies
The pressure Of good citizenship, in
turn, should shape public opinion. But
not if so-called "good citizens" can
be reproached- or some of them can
be reproached-for questionable bllsi-
ness dealings. He who is selfish will
not long remain within the strict laws
Of honesty and truth.
If you are asked how you can talk
of peace on earth and good will
toward men," in the grim, dead face
of the late war, you have living and
logical answer. Your most emphatic
answer should be that the t1iumphs Of
peace are greater than the victories
of war!
Whence came modern civilization ?
From war? Mo- It is common to
/ trace Britain's greatness from the
destruction Of the Spanish armada.
But modern British power got its
force from the steam engine and the
coal mine
What was the great event in Amer
lean history? Was it not the west
ward sweep of the empire in its march
toward the setting sun ? Some day
higher than all other monuments, will
stand some artists vision Of a man
with his gun and ak, with his dogs
and his oxen, and his prairie schooner
bearing his wife and children, plowing

into the unknown, to sow and plant
for the granary Of the world!
Was it war that caused modern civ
ilization to leap forward in one hum

years -kuntil we possess knowledge,
arts and tools Of which the Roman
golden age did not dream, or GreeI.
philosophy even guess?
Did war do it? Did war create this
marvellous era Of transportation, OF
machinery, of electricity, Of magical
communication, Of enormous manufac-
lures ? The age of Business! Was it
Edison or Ludendo1ff? ? Certainly it
wasn't Ludendorff!
Most of US here are business men.
We should be inspired by the fact that
the philosopher, the writer, the edu-
Gator, the astronomer, the chemist,
the artist, all thrive upon the univer-
sal exchange of the products of human
work and human brains, which we call
business.
When did philosophy and science
ever have such a wide world to adj
dress as today? When did literature
and art ever have such tremendous
machinery to project themselves?
Never heforel When does it come
BY what process is it true? The ans
wer is the business of selling the prod
ucts OF genius to the people and our
free public schools which would be inn
possible except for the taxable values
OF property created by business. No
system Of supplying human needs and
demands that was ever known, or tried
in the world before, can take the place
of modern systems. Smash the wheels,
close the banks, nail up the shops, and
see! 1t has been done. But not IN
this country! Too many Of us are
prosperousl
Rotary International offers another
plan. 1t offers the equality Of doing
right, the only equality that stands
upon rock bottom. 1t is sending its
members as ambassadors to their own
craft organizations to plead for the
adoption of codes Of correct business
practices.
We don't plead for sentiments. We
demand rock bottom principles. And
to start this great ball rolling it is
vital that we, ourselves, shall be
known to practice what we ask our
fellow business men TO practice.
Sentiments are emotional, principles
are realities, and the principle Of Ro-
tary-that friendliness and co-opera-
ton are fundamentals of doing right
cannot be overturned. Reverse the

Tom PuIiian says the stubbornnest
man he ever knew back in Arkansas
when the railroad first came through
the town the man lived in, when he
saw an engine for the first time as it
was standing at the station where he
and his wife driv up, said to his wife:
"Shell never start. She'll never
start
But in a few minutes she did start.
The man and his wife watched it pull
out. She said;
well, pa, what do you think now"
"Shell never STOP" he said, shell
never stop"
The meanest. man Ed Haight ever

said
