Work in strict moderation is
healthy. 1t is necessary TO life, but is
not life. Yet we make life subseryient
TO work, instead of work 10 life. The
most important, the most valuable
product of any industry is the type of
man and woman that il turns on.
Work is far from being the biggest
and most important thing in the
world. Indeed it Is only vital, I'M
portant valuable in so far as it is the
means of growth. either for the in
I diyidual or for the community. Yet
