WEAVER IS HEARD BY fcotAKLANS Made Fine Talk on Boys Work.—Sam Rankin Elected President of Club. Charles C. YVeaver, President of the Monroe Rotary Club and a Methodist minister of that city, was the honor guest of the local Rotary Club at its meeting at the Y yesterday. An ad adress by the Monroe Rotarian, a short talk by Bill Caswell, and announce ment of fietv officers of the club were some of the features of a fine meeting. It was announced that Ed. Sauvain, who lsist week was elected President of the local club, has resigned, and the directors choose Sam Rankin to suc ceed him. To succeed Sam, who was elected vice-president recently, the di lectors choose A. G. Odell, who last week was made assistant sergeant at arms. P. M. Lafferty was promoted from the ranks to this office. It is un derstood illness was the chief factor offered by Ed. in his resignation. Bill Caswell, chairman of the boys work committee, was asked to outline some work for the club along lines of boys work for tlie next year. In of fering his suggestions Bill outlined some work tlie club has already done among the boys and offered the fol lowing suggestions: That the club members continue to show an interest in the high school boys, as they have done during 1 the past, by entertaining them, offering helpful suggestions to them and ex-eat ing a closer friendship with them. That the club endorse the programs of the boys' secretary of the L. The "Come Clean Campaign” and the “Win Your Chum" campaign did great good, Bill said, and both were supported by the Rotarians. That the dub continue its policy trf. aiding deserving boys who need money to get a college education. Two mem tiers of the club are supporting two boys now at college, and Bill sug gested that a permanent fund for this work be provided. That the club help the crippled chil dren of the county. Many of these need help, Bill said, and he character ized work among the cripples as among the greatest any club can do. President YVeaver was heard with peculiar interest and he gave some facts and statistics concerning boys and their relations with older iieople that were both astonishing and inter esting. 1 In a recent canvass made among a number of boys, he said, the boys were given a questionnaire concerning their relations with their fathers, and the answers show that the youngsters think along lines that few people re alize. One question, he said, was, “What do you like best about your father?” Thirty per cent, of the boys in their answers made reference to ethical qualities found in their fathers. "This shows,” the speaker said "that the boys put the emphasis on the right place. It shows that the ethical qualities of fathers are appreciated by boys.” Twenty i>er cent, of the boys admired the economic qualities of of their fathers. "It is interesting to note that the lioys appreciated the economic qualities in their fathers,” he said, “but it is more interesting to note that these fathers must have lived so that their sons thouglir material things were the most important. They put the emphasis on the wrong place.” The Thursday, April ] 2 , | 9 , 3 other .TO per cent, of the u scattered reasons, ami only "\ so,,t * 'there is not a single thim/L r * *«i.l er than I admire.” * u faih.
