Why Mistakes Are Made.

Mistakes do not happen they are the results
of causes. A vast measure of time, money and OPP
portunity is lost in making mistakes and trying to
correct them. To correct mistakes is good work.
but to prevent them is a far better achievement.
The ounce of prevention may be applied by
carefully considering some of the chief causes of
errors in business. They are:
Laziness-not being willing to take the trouble
Accepting appearances as facts without investi-
eating.
Proceeding without discussion or advice
impulsiYe decisions not we'll thought out.
Lack of foresight and preparation.
Wrong theories and biased advice.
False economy and desire for gain.
Lack of tact and thoughtfulness.
Forgetting and neglect of duty.
Depending on those not properly instructed.
Failure to take due precaution.
Failure to safeguard weak points.
Overconhdence and exaggerated hopes.
The remainder may be charitably classed as the
result of human fraiIty-a last resort in explain
ing mistakes that cannot be rectifed traced to
their roots in undeveoped character.

One thing certain is that under such circumstances
no positive creed could survive
The reformers in separating from the center of
unity lost much and gained nothing. Reason and
