THANKSGIVING, EDUCATION
MAIN THEMES AT ROTARY

Tom Bellwood was chairman at
Tuesdays Rotary, pinch-hitting for
Bill Cady, who was scheduled, but had
to go to Frisco. Tom had fine pro-
gram, and no mistake.
President M. G. Fronske was there
after an absence of several weeks in
the east and pulled the throttle for
the start. At Toms request he spoke
of his recent trip, the impression
made on him by the people of the
pearances of the towns themselves.
Paved streets and clean sidewalks,
buildings and yards are vitally es-
sential, he said, in favorably Impress
ing people passing through town
and making them remember it ia
vorably afterward. He found that
there is no more friendly and mutual
ly-helpful people anywhere than here
and he came back glad that he lives
here and resolved to keep right on liv-
ing here.
C. B. Wilson spoke on Thanksgiv-
ing-a fine, sincere talk full of truth
and inspiration. The measure of the
individual may be taken by what he
is thankful for, he said, whether it be
for more material gain or because Of
the good he has been permitted to
do, the service he has been able to
render his fellowmen. Also, the men
who are most thankful are those who
have worked hardest for whatever
they are thankful for. If we have not
given in energy, time and money to
help others, we have nothing really to
be thankful for
Miss Selma Aas, with Miss Elsa
Myers at the piano, won long-con-
tinued applause by her beautiful sing
ing Of The Rosary.
Chairman Tom, who also is song
leader, then had the bunch stand and
sing School Days. After which he
asked John @. Thomas to introduce
the next speaker, DR.. Cubberly, dean
Of the school of education, Stanford
university.
Mr.. Thomas had studied under DR..
Cubberly for a year and his introduc
tion was sincerely eloquent in his
praise, calling attention to his long
years of splendid service as an educa-
tor and the help the books on educa-
ton he has written have been to the
educators of the entire country.
DIR. Cubberly spoke only a few
minutes, but said more in that time
than most speakers could in a day.
He began by referring to Mr.. Wilson's
address as the best Rotary aid
Thanksgiving talk he'd ever heard
Of education, he said this nation,
greatest of all and destined to do
most of the thinking for the rest of
the world, must not be content with
mere replacement costs in keeping
up our educational system, but
should gladly add to our educational
facilities and equipment to give the
best highly specialized training to all
who are capable of receiving it. He
said in the past thousands of bright
boys and girls have become educated
loafers because their school work was
arranged for the average student
mentality, instead of being keyed up
to their mental level and possibilities.
There is need of more differentiation
in school work, that each may be
taught up to the limit of his abilities
Cigars were brought by Jimmie
Lewis, commemmorating a recent
birthday. Joe Schmidt was sergeant
alarms protein. Kelvin Henness was
introduced by President Fronske as a
new member of the club, whose for
NAL introduction will come as soon as
Billy Switzer, his sponsor, is home
from the coast. President Mart was
immortalized in welcoming song
sung right at him.
The dinner was built around GER
erous portions of turkey and the ladies
of the Women's club who catered sure
did fine job.
There were many guests, good
many Of whom were educators here
attending the northern district teach.
