Fine Start, But Far From What We Need
All of these undertakings both sports and cultural
supported by the Society," We must continue with this work
among our membership and especially among young
intensified and branched out.
Our last Q955) Convention gave it's attention to the
question of Scholarship Awards and asked the Supreme
Board to take the action whereby the Society
could help needy and brightest student-members
We have already started this work and have dstri-
buted $4,000 in the last two years. 81 900 in 1885, and
like sum in 1857 This amount was divided among 40
students, each receiving $780, This is not by far what
should be done, nor what gradually intended to be
done. .-
Last year. the Supreme Board undertook new way to
try build up permanent Scholarship Fund by entering
into contract with firm which manufactures and disr
butes Christmas cards.
Our Society to receive one-haf of the net profit
from the sale of these cards.
The Supreme Boards intentions good, but what
proves successful with people, not with Others This
project did not profitable for organization the
Christmas Card Program dropped.
Society In Midst of Scholarship Fund Drive
We will by all have to establish strong schol
arsp Fund for deserving and needy young members
OF course it is impossible to grant scholarship assistance
to ALL but those needing such help most should be helped
The Supreme Board agreed to conduct campaign for
this purpose and do voluntary basis The Executive
Board has charge of the drive and chairman and
tary have already been chosen
The campaign has been started, and if membership
and especially businessmen and weltodo members
spends to the committees proclamation believe the
paign can succeed.
The Scholarship Fund should be built up to such de-
gree that we will be enabled to offer greater amounts
greater number of students than is possible
Even that which is currently being done in this re-
pect more than being done by companies
for the hundreds of thousands of their policyhoiders
In helping our young people attain higher education
we are helping our people, in that increasing the
TEEN in which they are held by Others
We are proud of our young people who have already
acquired high level of education We their elders must
encourage them to continue along that path and prove that
we stand behind them in deed as well as word.
