TAKING ANOTHER'S RESPONSIBILITY
By Wallace Rice.

HAVE been impressed in my ac-
quaintance with men in successful
business and professional life with
the care many Of them take TO
shoulder not only the responsibilities
which are manifestly their share of
the worlds work. but with the fact
that they also shoulder a large num-
ber of the burdens which ought rightly
to fall upon the backs of their subordi-
mates
l understand that in some cases it is
due to the fierceness of competition and
the fear that subordinate may be pro-
NOTED to ones own place and ones
self ousted, but that does not seem to
me to be valid reason Certainly
some men 1 have known wore them
selves out by it long before their time
and on that account had to leave their
places to others, however imperfectly
fitted to occupy them.
It has always been one of the char
acteristics of greatness to secure ef-
f1cient help in undertaking any enter
prise. No one can pick up life of
Napoleon for example, without being
impressed with this. He not only knew
how to do things himself, but he knew
how to get others to do those very
things-and in some cases to do them

says an official in one of the DEPART
ments, 'he went shopping with her be-
fore she was his wife. but that doesn't
count It's the shopping he has done
since then that makes or breaks the
record. The ante-nuptial shopping was

found in the laws which he caused to

But if it Is bad for the person in au-
thorfty to take upon himself the re-
sponsibilities of his subordinates it is
even worse for the subordinates. There
is formative time in the youth of
every man when he can be trained to
do things of his own initiative. De-
MED the opportunity, then he is likely
never to find himself able to compass
it in after life.
Young men for action; old men for
counsel" says the wise saw, and the
older man who is not letting the young
fellows within the scope of his author
ity take action whenever possible is do
ing them a great wrong.
In some cases, as with overenergetic
parents, this denial of the natural
qualities of youth to their own chill
dren works great disaster Many men
will read this who must realize now
that the making of them came either
through the breaking away from par
entail authority or the passing away
before their time of the parents they
would gladly, on every other account,
have had with them to the end.
