Rotary clubs are situated In more than eighty countries of the world. A Rotarlan gains more knowledge of Rotary at the district assembly or the International assembly than any other way. The goal of tills district is the extension of Clubs and of members of clubs. The four groups or committees are: vocational service, community service. International service and club service. Ho then explained the meaning of each of these four and showed how each one goes Into (he making of a true Rotarlan. The destiny of Rotary is in the hands of the individual Rotarians. Each Rotarlan has to impress himself and his community with what Rotary means to the com muntty. Each Rotarlan to be a good Rotarlan must have faith and wis dom Rotary is slowly but surely ap :proaching the ideals which have beer set for it. If Rotarians really believt in Rotary, they can speed up this march toward these ideals. The average conception of Rotary Is that ol community service. While this is one I of its main objects, it goes beyond 'this. It is abstract as well as eon ' crete. It is an idea which is conquer ' ing the world. Rotary's problems are ! the principle problems of the entire ' world The solving of these problems !i? the main object of Rotary. When I this is accomplished. Rotary has 'reached iis Ideal.
