THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY
1t is easy enough to do a successful bust.
ness and make money if one only knows
how. But there's the rub. For everyone
who knows how there are thousand who
don't. The business faculty largely comes
by nature, but it may be cultivated to some
extent. The successful man. as a rule, is
that one who knows the trick Of doing the
| right thing at the right time; and the trick is
| not one which comes from inspiration, but from
trained habits and thought. Attention enough
Is given to physical training, but there is still
somewhat common lack of faith in some parts
Of the United States with regard to mental
training. A little schooling is essential, but
boys and girls. it is thought, especially in the
country, should not waste too much time over
books. The theory was that good men are best
made by beginning their working careers early.
But change is occurring in this matter, and in
these days of great enterprise in which trained
thought plays so large a part the man of edu-
Gated mind is preferred to the man of unedu-
Gated mind. The man who has been taught to
think according to system and principle is the
man who is sought by employers.
