" have chosen to take the
side of the convention from a. :33:
Kiwanlan standpoint. with the idea of
bringing home that spirit so easy to
catch while there. but so dimnult to
communicate to others. First. it might
be said that the strength of Kiwanis
depends upon the strength of the in-
dividual members of its ube through-
out the length and breadth of the land,
and it seemed to me that a less profit-
able form of conventiomwss con-
ducted than might be, with this idea
in mind. Rather was the position of
the central body emphasised and a
considerable time absorbed in the
reading of lengthy reports which had
already appeared in print. at the cost.
to my mind. of the interchange of
ideas among individuals from differ-
ent parts of the country and the con-
duct of smaller conferences where an
impression might be received from
individual clubs. This seemed to be
recognised by the governors from the
different states. end undoubtedly will
be corrected. as I feel confident that

honors-of the day. .
Among other points, he brought out
that it. is impossible for international
to enforce rigid rules applying to all
organisations. but that local condl-
tions must govern the clubs to a cer-
tain extent. This suggestion was well
received and applauded by the en-
tire assembly. His whole speech
brought forth constant laughter and
applause and it was the talk of the
Atlanta convention. Norwelk should
feel mighty proud of their president.
I should like to suggest to the Board
of Directors that they send their prea-
idcnt each year to the international
convention as there is such valuable
information that can be gathered
which will prove helpful during the
following year.
