Rotary Education - The Four Way Test

The 4-Way Test was adopted by Rotary in 1943 and is a good statement of business ethics.

Of the things we think, say, or do:
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"

Every year Rotary District 7980 holds a 4-Way Test Speech Contest for high school students. A few years ago I was privileged to attend the event at which the winner was chosen. The finalists gave their speeches about how they applied the 4-way test to an event in their life. These students were extemely impressive and some even brought many of the attendees to tears.

How do you apply the 4-Way Test apply to your life?
