Quakertown Rotary will be hosting its 1st annual “Four-Way Test” Awards Breakfast on May 11, 2021 from 8:00 am to 10:00 am at McCoole’s Red Lion Inn to honor adults and high school students who apply Rotary’s guiding principles of the Four Way Test to their lives.   
From the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical standards in their professional lives. One of the world’s most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics is “The Four Way Test,” created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor when he was asked to take charge of a company that was facing bankruptcy. This 24-word test for employees to follow in their business and professional lives became the guide for sales, production, advertising and all relations with dealers and customers. The survival of the company is credited to this simple philosophy. Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The Four-Way Test has been translated into more than 100 languages and published in thousands of ways. It asks the following four questions:
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?

For over 70 years, Rotarians have been using the Four Way Test as a practical yardstick in our business, community, and personal affairs. You will note that the “Test” does not provide answers. It asks questions which the user must answer. Thousands of Rotarians have used it and shared it with others. Millions of copies have been distributed to students and business associates. The “Test” has been carved in granite monuments, displayed on billboards, written into labor contracts, printed on wrapping paper and umbrellas and has been the theme of countless awards, essays, and speech contests.
The Four-Way Test is the key to being a Rotarian. It reminds us that we practice high ethical standards in our everyday lives. If we can promote the Four Way Test to our community and the younger generations, we believe it will be to our community’s benefit.
