the Rotary organization and there
fore have wrong impression of it.
1t is comparatively a new movement
having been started at Chicago in
1905. It's membership is composed
of business and professional men and
is limited to one member from each
line of business or each profession.
The movement has rapid growth
and already there are between thir-
teen and fourteen hundred clubs
scattered all over the world, with
total membership of nearly a hun
dred thousand.
Rotary fosters good feeling and
backs up worthy movements in the
cities and towns where it is at work.
It's chief motto is: "He profits
most who serves best" 1t is not
secret order, but business and pro-
fesSional mems organization, where
men of all lines of business and pro-
fesSiOns meet, usually at the noon
luncheon hour, enjoy an hour of fell
lowship, have an interesting program
led by one of the members, and talk
over such matters of interest and
welfare to the community as come
up from time to time.
The annual national Rotary con-
vention will be held in st. Louis this
year, the date being June Is to 25.
1t is expected that there will be
around 1900 delegates in attendan-
ce, 5000 actual reservations already
having been made. The reservations
to date represent only 500 of the
nearly 400 clubs distributed in %
countries. One delegate with his en-
tire family is coming from New Zea-
land and his transportation alone
will be $4,000. Other delegates are
expected from South America, Aus
tralia, Denmark, Holland, Panama,
Manila, South Africa, Spain, British
Isles, and other parts of the world.
The fact that men and women will
come from the far corners of the
earth to attend convention of this
kinds, is an evidence of the wonder
full spirit and enthusiasm that ami
mates the organization The ST.
