GOTHAM ROTARIAN TALKSTOD.C. CLUB Suggests Motto Be Changed to Read “Service Through Self.” Less laziness, less selfishness and more toleration in every field of thought was the message brought local Jiotarians by Ray Knoppel, past pres- tdent of the ¢ York Rotary Club, at their weekly meeting in the New Willard Hotel yesterday. Mr. Knoppel said that while he ad- niitted the need of co-operation and rganization, at times he almost felt that America was overorganized, that efforts of individuals were being sinothered under the mass of con- d endeavor. ation there is strength, ame ‘time the great progress the world has come about because the dreams of single brains.

By EMILE COUE. ARTICLE II. 1 am trying 'to collect my thoughts and canalize a host of impressions that are tumbling over-each other in hopeless disorder; and I am thinking how much easier it would be to write of my American trip when it is over and when my undisciplined and, per- haps, contradictory ideds have had time to settle down and classify themselves in that automatic way which nature, or our subconsclous mind, follows to perfection. But I am caught in the whirl and hustle of American life, and must hasten to feed the printer with these possibly disfointed notes. After all, it is not so hard for one accustomed to feel and obey the in- fluence of suggestion whenever the latter does not clash with his con- sclous convictions. And what a stu- pendous force is this collective or ac- cumulated mass of suggestion which one fells vibrating in this high-strung city of New York! I have been here, but a few days, yet I have already seen and marveled at this caldron o energy and labor and seething activi- ties. Time and space scarcely seem to limit_them. Had I time to muse and meditate I would probably, fol- lowing naturally my own particular trend of thought, trace it all to the effect of ever-growing masses of sug- gestion emanating from successive generations of vigorous-minded an- cestors who helped build the mighty American nation. American Activity Universal One of the features that strike me is the universality of the scope of American activity. Restlessly, insati- ably it explores every sphere; me- chanical, scientific, artistic, intellec- tual. 1 pick up the newspapers, and I find pages of advertisements an- nouncing lectures on every conelv- ble subject. Obviously they draw be S0 numerous. There is nothing like it in my country, or, indeed, in any other Furopean country. Even thel churches advertise sermons or lec- tures by leaders of religious thought on subjec deem outside the sphere of any church. For instance, 1 see that there 1s to be a pulpit address about myself and autosuggestion on Sunday next. All this denotes an eagerness to at- taln unscaled heights of culture and knowledge which is somewhat dis- concerting, when compared with the evidences of rank ma- terlalism visible all around us. TReflecting on this contradiction, it geems to me that New York's gigantic skyscrapers, with thelr feet deep dug in the earth and their heads in the heavens are a vivid symbol of the ! spirit of America. Beauty in Monster Edifices. There is beauty, and even spiritu- ality, to be found by the thinking man’ in many of these monster edifices, although the ugliness of other facades shock the eve of the European visitor. But I cannot help thinking of the princes | which a stranger would | severity and!f world. While waiting in thé hall' T made a wmost interesting discovery. saw a man put his hand into an aperture in the wall beside one of the comfortable armchairs, turn & sort of pipe and take from it a little white goblet, which he fllled at the drink- ing water fountain adjoining. After he had drunk, to my astonishment, he casually threw the goblet into.an- other hole in the wall. Then I in- quired and was told that it was a cardboard goblet, and that this auto- matic system is quite common. Well, T have never seen anythin | of the like, and I think it a very won- derful lllustration of American prog- ress and love of thoroughness in everything. Above all, I admired the lesson of hygiene. Splendid as such a system appears as a convenience to visitors in the hotel, how much more valuable is the influence it must carry, by suggestion, to the minds of all who use it. The notions of hygiene are necessarily spread with a thou. sand times more effect than by means of the most elogquently expressed pamphlets or even lectures. Little He Cannot Admire. I suppose I shall find things to criticize, nevertheless, during my stay in America, though I confess that 0 far I see little which I cannot mire. 1 may, perhaps, talk of the “Movies” one day at greater length. But I want to say right now that in the Cinema a new art has been born in America; Paris and London are left far behind by the masters of the mise-en-scene here. There s just one thing, however, that causes me regret. It is to see in the streets so many people—men, women and children—wearing glasses. | Maybe it is due to a proper care for sight. But, until I am given a better explanation, I am inclined to attri- bute it to the strain of reading the newspapers. It seems to me, indeed, that the terribly small print in the papers, 80 unnecessary, one would think In such leviathan' productions, must use up the best and most per- — Special for of intellect and vitality who direct the huge organizations of industry whose tentacles stretch to verey corner of the globe. America. As an apostle of sugges- tion and autosuggestion I realize the {mmense influense they have had and destinies of thelr contemporaries. Unconsciously, perhaps, the latter, in incalculable numbers, respond to {their suggestion, and imitate them with varying degrees of success. In- {deed, I consider that present-day America is an amazing, living ex- Every American is stimulated by the irresistible current of energy gener- ated by the nation’s masterminds. And no one can fix the limits to whica their creative force will carry them. We French have an expression “to arrive,” meaning to reach success.
