Seventeen more countries have been added and now Rotary is deeply rooted in forty-four countries of the wand, Such has been the spread of the idea suggested by Paul Harris, a Chicago lawyer, in February, 1908, would have single represenfation from each business, trade and pro- fession. Thus the one Rotarian of each commercial and professional group would rotate among his fel- lows with the inspiration of the cil of the community. This contact, rather than con- flict with other civic organizations, attracted .a personnel strong en- ough to take a leading interest in any activity of the community so that the growth of Ritary has never needed the assistance of any paid organizers. In limiting the membership of each Rotary club to but one man from each distinct line of business, or profession in the community, the intention is that each business and profession shall have one worthy and active exponent. in the Rotary club, and that the Rotary club, through its members, may have one direct and responsible avenue of approach to all those engaged in each business and profession in the community, One of the latest countries to he added to the roll of Rotary Inter. national is the German Republic, which will be represented at the convention by Dr, Cuna, leader of the German delegation. Bolivia, Ecuador, Salvador, Costa Rica and Paraguay are the others into which Rotary has gone since June, 1927, "It was to be expected that all English speaking countries would desire such a common ground of {fellowship and understanding, but the spread of the Rotary idea in countries with languages other than English has been of striking significance, The Spanish and Portuguese speaking dinner at the annual con- vention will be nearly equal in size to the anual British Empire dinner which brings together the Rotar- fans and their ladies from all the countries where Englishmen have settled and declared allegiance to their mother country, That there is a definite group of JirPoacy is shown by the similar- ty of the work carried on hy the many clubs in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australasia and Central and Sourn America, for the benefit of the so- cial and community life of their cities.

An example of the efforts which many clubs are making to bring about 4 better relationship between the farmer and the city dweller is the meeting of the Canton, Qhio, Rotary Club to which 113 farm- ers were invited, The sincere and cordial welcome extended the farm- ers resulted in establishing a friend- ly bond, increasing social and husi- ness contact and clearing away any misunderstandings which may have existed. Rotary clubs thraugheut the world are interested the ad- vancement of their rs in every respect, Establishing Mem- orials and promoting the building of highways, encouraging hygiene and sanitation, building rest-camnps and recreation centres for mothers and for under-privileged and un- der-nourished children, schooling facilities for men and women of different citizenship, dental clinics and kindred activities are only a part of the program of every Rot- ary club, A clinic where thousands of blind babies were examined and treats was established through a fund raised hy the Rotary club of Shang- hai, China, and the eyesight of hundreds of these infants was eventuall restored.

The improvement of trade re- lations and encouraging the adop- tion of business ethics is becoming more and more a part of the pro- gram of every Rotary club. The fostering of more honorable and friendly relations among employers and employees, among competitors in business, both in national and interpatioal trade is having its ef- fect in improved interpational un- derstanding and friendship. Ope hundred and (wenty-six codes of correct business practices have been adopted directly as a result of the efforts of Rotarian embers of various trade associa- tions. The Rotary Code of Ethics, subscribed to by every Rotarian, has encouraged them to pring a similar code to their professional trade and business associations. Rotarian H. A. Bennett of Not- tingham, England, as a result of his interest in Rotary's Business Methods program, wrote a code of stindards for the motor trades, for publication in a trade magazine. It attracted so much attention that the Institute of Motor Trad- ers requested permission to adopt it as the Institute code.
