Triumph of Mind Over Matter.

The past quarter of a century has been
a period Of triumph of tbought--the tri-
umph of mind over matter. Many de-
vices have helped to reduce the drudgery
done by human beings with their hands
Many forms of manual labor have been
supplanted by inventions that have made
work much easier.
This great achievement has been due
to the growth and development of the
human mind; to its ability to reach out
and grasp forces that have always exist
ed. but which never before We're utilized
merely because the human mind had not
yet reached the stage of development and
| intelligence that made those forces known
and comfortable.
Il have made special study of service
and energy and system as applied to the
employee in the factory or mill, to fur
Their perfect myself in these factory es-
sentlals. l have visited every large fac
tory in the United States.
In the bureau of engraving and print
ing We have motto that we instll into
every employee: Perfection is no trihe,
but trifies make perfection With nfini-
| tesimal imperfection corrected and the
| little wrongs righted perfection is
achieved.
Il have never investigated a factory
system where the management was not
perfectly familiar with the cost of power
per k.lowat hour but ignorant and indif-
ferent to the conditions confronting them
as to amount OF energy and service pro-
duced by their employees. We should ex-
ercise as much zeal in the selection Of an
employe TO whom is intrusted the care
or construction of our machinery as we
do the quality and standard of the ma
| terials we purchase.
You cannot measure the qualification
| of your prospective employe by any lab
oratory analysis. or with the aid of cali
per or yardstick. Only experience will
demonstrate his WORTH hence 1t is essen
tial to surround him with environment
that will assist in developing his best ef-
| forts or exposing his shortcomings Care
| should be exercised to eliminate men of
vicious habits or socialstic tendencies.

DRAFT Of NEW NAVY
REGULATIONS READY
Extension of F0ur-'Year Enlist
ment Term Principal
New Feature.

The draft of necessary changes in the
navy regulations has been prepared in the
Navy Department, ready, Upon the pas
sage of the naval appropriation bill, to
put into effect those of its provisions
which relate to enlistments As agreed
upon in conference, the principal new
feature permits a four-year enlistment
to he so extended that A man may serve
five, six, seven or eight years continu-
ously In one unbroken term of sery-
ice. BY regulations these extensions are
restricted 50 that only desirable men will
be allowed to make them. During the ex-
tension of an enlistment the pay and al
lowances will be the same as that of a re-
enlisted man; thus, if a man has extend
ed his term for one year. making his
whole term five years instead of four, he
will receive the same monthly pay ami
allowances during the fifth year as If he
had been discharged at the end of the
fourth year and had Immediately re-
enlisted for for years. If he had ex
tended his enlistment lor two or three or
four years. his LAY and allowances for all
those years would be the same as in the
fifth year. Upon discharge at the end
of five. six, seven or eight years, he il
entitled to the same rights, privileges and
benefits as a man discharged at the end
of four years.
\ proviso authorizes the honorable dis
charge Sratuitv to a man who mas ex-
tended his enlistment for four years, the
intention being that such a mans status
snail be just the same as that of one dis
charged and re-enlisted next day. A man
VIII be aDle to extend his enlistment more
than once; for instance, he may enlist for
four years. extend his enlistment one
year, and extend it second time three
more years. making total extension of
four years; after the first four years he
would draw increased pay and allow
ances, the same for re-enlisted service,
but would get no eratuity, but as soon as
he had agreed to extend his service the
second time, aggregatins four years, and
had completed the original four years, he
would then become entitled to the four
months pay gratUity, provided that his
record up to that time has entitled him
to honorable discharge. Thus the ex-
tended enlistment man would be on the
same footing as re-enlisted man in all
respects, except in not receiving any gra-
tuity unless he agreed to a four-year eN-
tension.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-08-02
Four-Year Extension Favored.

Other provisos put four-year extern
sion on the same basis for continuous
service benefits as a four-year re-enlist-
ment. Here a decided distinction is made
in favor of the man who extends his en-
lstment in the aggregate four years over
the man who extends it only one. two or
three years Thus, in continuous term
of seven years, man would receive dur
ing the fifth, sixth and seventh years the
same pay as q man serving a continuous
term of eight years; but on re-enlisting
within four months the seven-year man
would receive pay and allowances the
same as in his seventh year-that Is, the
pay and allowances Of a first re-enlist-
ment: whereas the man who had served
eight continuous years would receive, on
re-enisting, the pay and allowances Of
second re-enlistment.
The bill further authorizes the dis
charge of short-time man three months
or less in advance Of the expiration OF
his enlistment without depriving him Of
any of the benefits (mileage or transpor-
tation. honorable discharge gratuity. in
creased pay ON re-enlistment. etc. In
cident to completing his full term. The
main purpose OF this is to obviate the
transfer of short-time men to a receiv-
ing ship to await discharge.

My experience has been in the severe
school of adyersity.' said Mr. Ralph.
When boy of twelve years ! obtained
employment in rolling mill in my native

sisted OF twelve solid hours of physical
torture at the ratio OF one horsepower
per minute. THUS ! learned full well how
to toll. and the value of energy. and the
relationship of employer and employe.
This is such reciprocal relationship
that few employers understand and know
how to apply it. Today it Is for the en-
ploycr to give and the emDloye to receive,
tomorrow for the employee to give and
the employer to receive--to give support
and encouragement, sympathy and hon-
est service. To know and understand
each other is to maintain confidence, as
that results in mutual interest and de-
velops the highest ideals in service and

Mindful of Employers Interest.

AS an employe ] endeavored to give
Of my employers interest. And now, as
an employer l find that the same IN
terest on my part in behalf of the en-
ploye serves to develop and increase the
,mpioye and a strict compliance on his
part with the shop rules and manifesto
ton of zeal at all times.
Il make it rule when one OF my en-
ployes deserves ACCOMPLISHMENT to admins
ter it to him privately. But when ]
praise or compliment them / do it openly.
Nothing stimulates men quite as much
as the appreciation of their employer.
Expression Of such an appreciation in the
form of praise does much to speed up
and make more efficient any body OF men.
Nothing will SO completely destroy the
most efficient body of employees as dis
elimination on the part of the foreman.
The intermediary foreman can cause more
unplea santness and. precipitate more dis
senSion strife and contentious by his I'M
just discrimination and fayors granted to
a few than in any other way.
1T is my judgment that nearly all
strikes are the result of discriminating.
biased judgment of foremen.
''All promotions should be made Sc
niority and efficiency, but efficiency first
there should be no favorites. The golden
iule and the square deal is all that any
employee can ask or hope for. I find that
as q rule he is content when he re-
ceives 1t. l find that when i give him the
best I have he invariably gives the best
he has in return.

they should know, and to know that they
