The association ' includes only those actively engaged in delivering The Journal t residence. Store and offices : within - the dty. David H. Smith, circulation manager of The Journal, is. permanent trustee and general adviser to the boys. ' While a certain amount of recrea tional advantages go with , member- - ship In this organisation, the associa tion's primary service "1s to make better carriers out 'of the members. In the meetings which the young men have .each month, the members dis cuss their - problems.' talk . over better delivery and service methods and. be come better educated with the- product which they are already so succesa folly .- selling. Like any other wideawake salesmen, Journal carriers are after more business, because mora business , ' means more profit. . , OBJECTS 0y JCABHIEKS The objects of this organisation as stated in the preamble of its const!-, tutji. are to promote a spirit of en- ' thueiasm and cooperation among the ' -carriers, as to tbe management of delivery of their respective routes, to ' Increase their , knowledge of business principles:': and parliamentary law, to enlarge upon their fund - of general in formation, to provide means and meth ods of amusement .and entertainment. ' and generally upbuild our character and standing." - A - " -' - That many former carriers of The Journal have increased their knowl edge of business principles and been able - to upbuild their chareoter and standing in- the community, la evi denced by the number of successful ' Portland business men who are proud to claim former membership in this organization. But few of these men have . stayed in the newspaper busi ness, the majority of them using the knowledge gained in their newspaper work to -secure places of prominence la other evocations. - A Journal carrier Is more than Just a mere boy throwing papers on some , body's front porch. as a glance ever the 300 young" men during one of their assemblage would proTe. They ar. alt -clean-cut young men striving- to make good In the-world. All are giv ing up hours of play to -earn money, some ; that - they may j have spending money, but the great majority Jn or ; der that they may complete their school studies, or help. in the support of a family. . .

'The carrier who keeps his route for several years learns by experience and through personal contact with the men ' over him the veins of a few business secrets which aid him the remainder of his life, no matter what vocation he may afterwards follow.; He learns that the successful carrier must be po lite; must endeavor to please Ills cus tomers by putting their papers -where 'they are wanted, 'must be punctual and regular -in . making deliveries. . accu rate In bookkeeping, prompt In mak ing: collections and prompt m settling his accounts at the main office. ; The effort ' required to earn the money -also teaches the boy, the value of money, and ere long many learn the lesson of saving, and under the guid ance of the heads of . the circulation department arrange to open bank ac counts. - - Kvery fchrlstmaa the association has m,, large'- gathering- for its members, either In the nature of an entertain ment or banquet, and each,- summer an all day picnic at some nearby park.
