Kiwanis Activities
A Record of Accomplishments for 1925
This is the fourth volume of "Kiwanis Activities" summarizing the officially reported achievements of all the Kiwanis clubs in the United States and Canada during the past twelve months. The com- pilation of these accomplishments was made possible by the co-opera- tion of the secretaries of clubs sending in the official monthly report statements concerning the progress of their clubs' activities to Inter- national Headquarters.
During the year some 25,000 separate activities were recorded.
It
will be understood then, that the contents of this book are devoted chiefly to the principal results as catalogued under the series of out- standing topics.Volume IV is exemplary of the progress in Kiwanis. The prin- ciples, ideals, and objects of Kiwanis have been applied to these accomplishments, and in the devotion of carrying on the good work, fellowship, comradeship, civic unity, and social welfare have made progressive advancement. As tabulated research for suggestions to clubs to broaden their fields of endeavor, this book is filled with an inexhaustable fund of Kiwanis activity knowledge. Included in its pages are the results of the activities of the 1458 clubs with a mem- bership of 96,326 on January 1, 1926.
With the celebration of Kiwanis' eleventh anniversary on January 21, 1926, Kiwanians on the North American continent became rem- iniscent of the past, yet rallied to the proclamation of the International President, John H. Moss, in his announcement to the membership.
"Important, however, as has been the past, the future beckons with an insistence which cannot be disregarded. Greater opportunities lie in the realm of the future than in the past, and in the degree in which this is true should our ambitions be keener and our labors greater," wrote the International President to the 96,326 Kiwanians.
The Objects of Kiwanis International, which through the course ef eleven years have been indelibly written in the minds of Kiwanians, constantly suggested panoramic reviews of conditions, and in turn brought about the activities written here. These Objects are:
To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life.

relationships.
1. · f h'gher social To promote the adoption and the app ication o 1 '
business, and professional standards.
To develop, by pi-ecept and example, a more intelligent, aggres- sive and serviceable citizenship.
To provide through Kiwanis clubs, a I?rc:ctical .means to
~ciw
enduring friendships, to render altruistic service and to better communities.
· · d · · · tl t sound public To co-operate m creatmg an mamtammg ia
opinion and high idealism which make possible
~he
increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and good will.While the reader may accept these Objects as
ideal~stic,
thepr~G
ticality of them is expressed in the Objectives, or
a~am,
the rdesui'~
5of the recorded Activities. Criticism, though an active art to ay, is not always justified without an understanding of Kiwanis' good deeds.
Prejudice, too, is only the result of a pre-judged
accept~nce
ofsup~
ficial facts and not the timely human study of conclusions. For t ' e world to judge Kiwanis, this book is offered as a text.
The Harding International Good Will
Memo~ial, d~dicated b11
September 16, 1925, in Vancouver, B. C., Canada, is a tnbute t@ . e recognized by the world. The memorial is not only a record. of. m- dividual Kiwanian responsiveness to an International unified ObJeettiVe, but it is an expression of a celebrated actuality : more than a
centu.r:~
of peace between Canada and the United States, in which two coutl:tnes reside Kiwanians working for a continued harmonious internatH;,nal understanding.
During the past convention year vocational guidance and
pl~Ge
ment of young men and women has been actively studied and
a~pb:ed.
Kiwanis goes into this work as a leader similarly as it d'id in the now stabilized· activity, of better town an.'d country relati0ns [0,1' tlle purpose of creating a community c0nsciousness with which ite mu- tually meet the needs of these two groups.
Harding International Good Will Memorial
The Harding International Good \i\Till Memorial, erected by the voluntary subscriptions of the clubs of Kiwanis International, was dedicated in Stanley Park, Vancouver, B. C., Canada, on September 16, 1925.
Kiwanis recognized this dedication as an achievement of the unified activity of all International and also as a monument of remembrance to the friendship and amity which has been ever present between the nations during the past century. The memorial in honor of the late chief executive of the United States and to Kiwanian ·warren Gamaliel Harding can best be expressed in the words of Past President Edmund F. Arras of Columbus, Ohio, who said: "It has been possible for us to perpetuate his profile in bronze and to carve his message of neigh- bourly love in granite, but long before this historic occasion he has built a lasting monument in the hearts of all, and by his deeds has written thereon lasting epitaphs."
The design of the monument is semi-circular with an elevated center containing a bronze tablet with Harding's profile in bas-relief and an excerpt of his Canadian address delivered in Stanley Park on July 26, 1923, just a short time before his death in San Francisco.
The inscription on the monument is as follows:
"What an object lesson of peace is shown today by our two countries to all the world. No grim faced fortifications mark our frontiers, no huge battleships patrol our dividing waters, no stealthy spies lurk our tranquil border hamlets. Only a scrap of paper, recording hardly more than a simple understanding, safe- guards lives and properties on the Great Lakes, and only humble mile-posts mark the inviolable boundary line for thousands of miles through farm and forest."
"Our protection is our. fraternity, our armour is our faith, and the tie that binds more firmly each year is ever-increasing acquaintance and comradeship through interchange of citizens;
and the compact is not of perishable parchment, but of fair and honorable dealing, which, Goel grant, shall continue for all times."
Erected by Kiwanis International in memory of a great occasion in the life of two. sister nations. Here on July 26, 1923, Warren Gamaliel Harding, twe.nty-ninth president of the United States of America and first president to visit Canada, charter member of the Kiwanis club of Marion, Ohio, spoke words that are worthy of record in lasting granite. Dedicated September 16, 1925.
In the center of the mem9rial are two bronze female figures symbolizing Canada and the United States on guard not only over the man represented but also over the memorable words of interna- tional amity. Canada and the United States hold between them in one hand the olive branch of peace, in the other the shields of the two nations. Directly in front is placed a shallow pool of running
idea of life and activity. At each end of the monument structure ts an eagle, typical and symbolic of America. The extreme length of the structure is thirty-seven feet; depth, thirteen feet, nine inche~;
height, ten feet, nine inches. The bronze figures are seven feet, st~
inches in height.
The assemblage of Canadians, Americans, and foreign visit0~s at the dedication was estimated by Vancouver newspapers at 15,©J!Ril.
Those honored at the speakers' platform were: Kiwanis Internatio a:l officers, the speakers of the occasion, fourteen consuls of foreign na:- tions, Dominion and Provincial officials of Canada, judges of ~fte Supreme Court of the Province of British Columbia, and other dig- nitaries.
