HUMAN NATUREAS
BUSINESS FACTOR
Recognition of Fixed Conditions
Good Sign, Says Dean
Smaller Mathews.
AT AFTER-OINNER CLUB
Chicago Educator and Woodworth
CIum Deliver Addresses Which
Carry Practical Lessons.

Dean Smaller Mathews, head of tae
divinity school of the University of
Chicago and noted theoiogian, lectur-
er and man of letters, spoke at the
meeting of After-Dinner club last
evening on THE Human Element in
Business" and, as might have been
expected, gave an address which was
helpful and inspiring.
The human element is the very basis
of business, he said, business being
merely the barter or exchange neces-
sary to supply human wants. He was
glad TO say, he added, that the human
izing of business itself seems to be
making a good deal of progress in
these later days, former barbarous
practices being to a large extent elm
mated. While success in business
generally indicates positive virtues of
high order, there are more import
ant things on earth than the mere
making of money.
A most encouraging feature in con-
sidering the future is the tendency
of those directing large enterprises
to realize more and more that 1t Is
the human element with which they
have TO deal ultimately. Human ma
ture remains very much the same
the world over and refuses to be
treated as anything else. There is
a growing disposition to treat men
and women as humans and not as
eutomatons. which means that the
future is certain to be one of accom-
plishment and growth.
MUST SEE Personal PROFIT.
Woodwork Clum, the other speak
er, gave out his topic as "Nobody's
Business This was prompted by the
proverb what is everybody's business
is nobody's business" Only about |
two per cent of the people actually !
the obligations of citizen !
ship in connection with our various I,
forms of government. What the aver !
age city needs is some plan to interest |
its citizens in it's welfare. which is .
their own welfare. Personal profit /
is about the only effective appeal that /
can be made and therefore the proper |
thing to do is to endeavOr to show the |
people wherein they are profited by |
better local government
Mr. 'Clum pointed to some examples !
which he claimed showed that the
people were not awake to their own
interests. One was the unguarded !
crossing at Sixteenth street, on which
his associate in business, T. J. Van
Deusen, was injured a short time ago.
The reason grade crossings are toler-
lted in Moline, the speaker said, is
because the people do not realize that
i is to their personal profit to do
away with them. The road improve
nent movement was cited as another
So far it amounts to an
expression of a sense of public duty,
)ut with little performance.
