Tegeived communications from - the Providence Engineering society, or- iations which cover practically the same ground as it is hoped that ;'®n ‘efficiency ' club of New Britain ‘would cover.

At the present time while most of the large manufacturing con- cerns of the city have their own or- ganization or club, ‘this club is in- tended in no way to be in opposition to such clubs and in fact it was the opinion .as voiced by the members of such clubs of 'the various - factories Sng and training of suboriinates, time that a general, efficiency orgapization snd motion studies, the object’ and methods of training, the boy and hl.s or club would be quite a beénefit to the other clubs i uch as it would : ‘employe, manufacturing costs and | enable members to discuss and be- ccounting, advertising and selling | come familiar with topics of general - job, relations ‘between employer and ' and distributing. : ,To render possible such a series of 5, m tings it 'would of course incur ex- “‘pense and it would be. necessary to defray and cover such work, together with genera] expenses, such as secre- 3ary’s account, etc., and it was deemed ‘advisable to charge a nominal sum for yearly dues, which could be de- termined after organization. “The objects of the club would be educational as well as fraternal and a membership in the Efficiency . ¢lyb would secure for members an op- portunity of having an intimate sub- . ject discussed and presented by an * authority; second, the information to . ‘be gained thereby; third, help would be derived by association - with other members; fou each member “would get ideas applicable to his own business that have been tested and proven ,and hreh, 1t was suggested that members have the privilege of PBringing a friend or non-member to ope lecture during the course without admission fee. It 18 hoped that the club’' may develop into a force that would serve for civic and industrial as well as in- ; dividual advancement and by reason of the broadened and improved ideas "* which may devolve from such an or- s« ganisation as the club can represent. _ From the four efficiency classes.in “the city already over two k& hundred ‘mames have been handed in as wish- ing to join this organization and it §s the iIntent of thg organizers to ex- tend the limit of membership so that those people of the city who do not iaiready belong to the present effi- clency classes, nevertheless, may have an opportunity of joining the club and “becoming active in it, it being intend- ed to include the mercantile as well .as the manufacturing interests of the ity. Q‘1! was decided that the best method conducting the' club would be by & board of governors and to make #ime as extensive as to include the ' pHnciple industries of the city it was decided that the following concerns of the city be represented on board of governors: P. & F.
