As a VMCA director Dr. Smedi
ley founded the first Toaatmsster ;
Club in Bioomington, 111., in 1909. j
Then, as now, it was based on a i
weekly meeting at which mem-,
bers ate. talked, criticised each;
other's talks and mingled social-,
ly. ' ,
, "The theory of our program
was, and still is, 'leara by doing :
and improvement through con-i
structi va criticism,' s i y i Dr. j
Smedley,who now gives full-time
direction to his brainchild from
headquarters in Santa Ana, Calif.
Na Bigh-Prenarc
So sound has been Dr. Smed
ley's original theory that Toast
masters, which has never put on
a high - pressure membership
drive, still operates on the same
general program as it did the
first club..
The current 60.000 membership
is scattered in clubs in every
state in the union, plus units in
such places as England, Japan,
Germany, Venexuela, Philippines
and Scotland.
"There is even a 'floating club'
organized on the USS Hornet,"
says the white-thatched, 7-year-
old Smedley. "We have just re
ceived a request for a charter
from a club in Johannesburg,
South Africa.
