TO TIE BOSS.
Yon have young men in your en-

Has it occurred to you that you owe
these young men more than their sal
aries?
Or-if you fight shy Of moral mat
ters-have you considered that you
might set such good example before
these young fellows as to raise their
standard of honor and conduct and
you profit thereby?
You are the pattern which those I'M
der you will initiate.
Consciously or not. those who work
for you look up to you and follow YOU.
You are their ideal. You have sue

hope to succeed What more natural

ways?
Therefore you may be sure
Your standards of life and business.
your habits and purposes. will become
theirs.
You may defend yourself by urging
, that your life is your private affair.
You may say to your people. do as l
say. not as do" Nevertheless they
will judge your creed by your actions.
Rare is that young man who Is able to
profit by the errors of his boss and
avoid them.
You cannot conceal your real charac-
ter.
For example:
If you are accustomed to use sharp
practices in your deals. if you deceive
your customers. your employees know

their code. "Be honest with the firm.
