"A most interesting analogy is
that worked out by George w. Alger
in the April Atlantic, in one of the
series of articles devoted to the Ethics
of Business. His subject is s:Moral
Overstrain." In mechanics, as he
points out, we. measure carefully the
amount of pressure which given ma
terial will bear, and allow for margin
OF safety. But in the business world
we constantly place; too great burdens
upon the moral strength of men, and
then wonder at their breakdown. We
ought to, treat "a. man. with as much
care as a bridge. h TN aes%@5 ss,;.&& &fz!.
