And that example is. thai the only way to keep up is to /r;etp ,oin,. When the bicycle stops it falls over. particles of which a ll thi ngs are composed, and of the Itare, is equally true of everything between themIncluding u s. For our bodiel are always changing, our nails and hai r growing, our very bones re-forming. Your business cannot remain .tationary; if you are not going forward you are losing ground. The eame thing is true of your mind. Some people boalt that their opinionl are just the eame today that they were yesterday and a year ago. That is nothing to be proud of. If your mind is active your opinions ought to be improving. "Growth " is the word of words. It explains everything. The mind does not necessarily grow old with years. Some of the youngest·minded men in the world are over sixty. They are still reading, 9lilllearning, still pushing fo rward. In fact, when you find you rself standing still, you may well be ala rmed. For when w e stand It ill it is an indication that we are about to fall over, just as in the case of a bicycle. No man's businen is solid unlesl it is progressing. There is but one eafe thing for you and me to do, and that isKup on ~ttpin, on. And thi. is a .ymbol of one of the most important facts in regard to the universe, and all thinge and all people in it. The notion that there is permanency in what ie fixed and immovable is a deIUlion. On the contrary, nothing is permanent, nothing can be eaid to be eternal, but what i. con.tantly changing. A rock teems everla.ting, and the little brook it rests by is ever running away; but come back in a hundred year. or so and the rock will have worn away and the brook still be merrily singing: "For men may come and men may go, But l ao on foreve,: ' Scientists tell us that the ultimate stuff o f matter. the atoms of which the atoms are composed, is probably whirling, lively thingl constantly in motion.

W ilh the kind coll abo ration of [he keeper of the recordl at the Guildhal l, we were able 10 show 10 m.any hundred Arneri. e;lon vi sitors a number of urly records regarding ;n panicuiar Ihe even ts of 1775--6. A larre number of these vi silorl upreued a wiah to hue copies of Ihe records and lef[ ca rds with me to ICnd ume, if I was able to obtain perm.ission 10 photograph the most impor· !.;anI documents.

It appears Ihat the unjust war forcrd on a.n inolTensivc and law·abiding people in 1775 beart lIOme an;l/ogy to t he war forccd on Be[gium and Fr;mce by Ihe Germans in 19 [4. In both c~ it was a war caused by the will of the ruler, backrd up by the militar), pan)', and in both cases. I t hink, thc bulk o f thc bu!;· nell world was Ipinst war. n'e following copics of Ihe actual rec' ords apptaring in t he minutebooks of the eommon couneii o f the City of London, indicate that the Ci l), of London was bit_ terly opposed 10 what is slalrd to h ~Ye been arbitrary and op· prcssi\'e measure s. I do not propoJe to dcal with tbe yar ioul mattCTl that finally caused war between the Amer i. can coIonicl Rnd the homel and, but eonfine my rcmarkl to the reeords now existing in the Guildhall.

Some must alway. work for others, o r a t least for salaries and wagn. To those who work fo r salaries and wages, old age is certain, and sickness and acciden t very likely to come. If we advocate t hrift-if we ad vise saving so met hing ou t of one's income \0 a 5 to pro · vide a reserve for the da ys of misfortune and old age , we mus t, to be consis te nt, s ta nd not mere ly for a Iivin!> wage, but for a .Jat'illg "!Luge. And what is a saving wage? It is a li ving wage plus. And what is a living wage? And how much or what proportion of the liv_ ing wage do we .nean by plus! Conditions of envi.(">nment and personal habit regulat e standards to a g rea t extent. And conditions of envi ro nment and pe rsa,:,li habits vary from one extreme t o the o th e r. One interesting princi ple has been se t dow n by the Ka nsas industrial code. The law declares " that it is nece nary fo r the general welfare t hat a worker shall receiv e a fair wage an d have health ful a nd moral surroundings while engaged in his labor. " And a fair wage is further defined "as one which will enable a ma n to provide himself and fami ly wit h all the necessities a nd a reasonable share of the comforts of life ; and that in addition a fa ir wage should provide o ppo rtun ity fo r in tellec tual advancemen t and rea sonable rec reation; that a fa ir wage should be such as to enable parents to provide their ch ildren w ith good, moral surroundings, opportu nit ies fo r education and a fair chance in th e race of life; and that a fair wage s hou ld ena ble the fru_ gal man t o pro vide fo r sickness and old age." The Kansas code, it see m s to us, has he re laid do wn a general pr incipl e that deserves more than passing intereu. Whether we call it a fair wage o r a living wage or a savi ng wage-t he lact remains, each employer ha s a deep rupons ibility to his trus ted a nd loyal wo rke rs. Okmulgee's Successful Expen'ment T HE more nea rly one approaches the po~ession of a fine education, the more ignorant he is apt to leel. This apparent paradox is explained by the fact th a t each addition to one's stoc k of kn owledge opens up new vis tas of unexplored educational realms and ins pires to furt her lea rning. Although the sum of human kn o wledge is so great that no man may hope to do mo re t han acquire a good acqu aintance wi th any one majo r bra nch of learning in an ordinary lifetime, t he advancement of th e ra ce de pends largely on the numbe r of men who can obtain a good education. Because of this, the outsta nd in g wor k done by th'! . ~,----- January, 1923 Okmulgee (O kla.) Rotary Oub in promoting interes t in highe r ed ucation will m ake positive the luture pro grt5S o f that ci ty. The club mai led le tt ers to 900 boys o f t he uppe r grades, urging them to continue w ith thei r educatio n a nd offering them assis ta nce. Where,'er it was fou nd t hat the boy's family was more o r less dependent on his earn ing5, and t hat thi s condition tended to preve nt hi m from attending the secondary school, t he club tried to arrange a part-school, partwo rk plan, which w ould eli minate the obstacle t o furt her t rain ing. H. B. Brun e r, s upe rint endent of schools, who is al so the president 0 1 the Okmulgee club, aided mat erially in the work by in t roducing into the gradeschool curricul um a numbe r o f th ree- mo nth "Broadening an d Fi nd ing" cou rsu. These cour ses help to link up the grade-school and the high-school work, and they give the boy !lOme idea as to what high ,school cou rse he can pursue with the mos t profi t to hi mseli and his community. Contract s M EN make con tracts wit h eac h othe r and have faith in one another that the contracts will be carried out. H erein is the foundation o f socie ty. T he fa mily, the tribe, t he natio n, all rest on t his foundat ion. Ha vin g confiden ce in one a notb er'. participation in a cont ract, men trade and barte r the ir worldly goods and t h us beconle businel5 men. H owe\'er, no t only must confidence be maintain ed in busi ne ss, but generosi ty also mus t play itl pa rt. H onu t efforts to fulfill contracts dese rve consideration at all t imes. The coming gener a t ion must be ta ugh t to have not al one skill in building o r wi sdom in ma naging, but faith in o ther men's efforts to fulfill thei r cont ra ct s, and al!lO so me measure of generosity in writ ing off losses wh en m en ha ve hones tly t ried although th ey ha ve failed to fulfill a co nt ract. Tllrift WEmust aU agree tha t the happiness of the human race or a ny part of it depends upon il5 thriftineu. If we would serve best we must conserve and uti lize our reSOUrtt5. If any nation cou ld afford to forget the need of thrift it would seenl to be the Un ited Slales, and yet Americans are having a Na tiona l Thrift Week Ihi, month. It includcs a pageant to celebrate ~njamin F ranklin's birthday, Ja nuary 17th. If "Poor Richard" hadn't been a thrifty lad, he wouldn't have been a succcssful man. It is well to celebrate his birthday and it is well to do it in ~ way wh ich will teach lessons of thrift . - January, 1923 TilE ROTARIAN 25 Under Direction of WUliam C, Bamburllh of t he BeaMon Institu te I" ,h.,. c.l .. m n" boo .. , If• • "'h ....

Thi' ,i"n me another opportunity to t ry to correct certain misleading otatemenU that ha~ been made in connution with t hue projects, to the embarrassment of the U ni_ versity of I!li nois. u t me say in the first place that all statements that these foundations are in any .eme or in any dcgr~ a part of, or incorporated with, or in , the Univen_ ity o f Illinois, arc wholly and unqualifiedly untruc. Ent husiasti c publicity agents have put out statemen ts about their various foundations " of t he U nivenity of Illinois." Th is phraseo]OfY was lharply objected to. Then they changed it to "at the University of IIl i. nois," wh ich is ~raphiu.JJy corrut in a sense, but still is misluding. Theile foundations arc DOt on University ground; they rft:cive no financial support of any kind whatever, either in money Or use o f rooms or oquipmml or materials, or anything else, from Ihe Univenity of Illinois; nOr can they have any o/fu;ial connution with or receive any support from the university. Such a relationship woul d be unc:onstitutional, unlawful, and contnry to the public poIiey of Illinois and the United States. The facts CODCiOming these foundations and the reasons for them I will t ry brieAy to recounl. In the fint place, t he Wesley Founda. tion, established by the people of the Methodist church of Illinois, i. alre ady in uislence. A beautiful stone building, afte r the model o f one of the old colleges at Oxford, where Charles W ule)' was once a stooent, was erected and dedicated by tke Method ists mOre than a ),ear ago and luu been in use ever s;no;:e. This building is in U rbana. The people 01 the Christian or Disciples' denomination ha~ a large church with rooms for 50Cial and club purposes, some of which they use in giving r eligious iustruction to thei r adherents, as the Met hodists do in the W esley Foundation, For a year or 10 the Catholics have had a house in Champaign as their CVlter. The P resby_ ter ians. I thi nk, and perhaps one Or two OI her Mnominations, ha,'e providftl for such «nters in S(HI.., way, althOUlh nona but the Methodists as yet have ereded a building. The purpo$Cs lor which thelle lounda_ I tiOlU have been established are religious and lOCia]. Such foundations a re DOl IIC«sury where the number o f students to be cared for it 10 small that the lou.! ehur(.hu an do the work. In many ]arge institut ion. like a State U niversity there il I considerable number of boys and girl. in attendance, belonging to this or that religious denomination. For ex_ ample, there we re bst year at Ihe Uni_ ,"ersity of Illinois, 1,810 Methodists, 1,116 Presbyte r ians, 515 DiKiptu, 477 CatholicI, 399 Baptists, 44S Congregational ists, 314 Episcopalians, and 312 Luthe rans.

A GA IN, of the young people of uch denomination have been accustomed to teeing the chu rch at home the ral ]ying point of the lOCial activities of their communities.
