Organization

All modern human activity requires organiza-
lion. and organization in the largest meaning of
The word is a wise combination of materials.
equipment and workers for purpose.
We do not think of using cast iron for anchor
inks nor brass for submarine ca BILE wire. but
an English family will give the estates to the
eldest son. put the second in the navy the third
in the army, the fourth In the church, the fifth
into profession and the sixth in trade, solely
with reference to seniority not in the least with
reference to aptitudes.
But men vary in their aptitudes to as great
degree to materials or equipment, and it
is crime against the position in the organiza-
ton, as well as against the incumbent, for the
wrong material or equipment or personnel, how
ever skilffuly designed to be selected
Cast iron, however admirably shaped and fin
ished, can't make good anchor chain link;
glass however excellent it is for windows Just
can't transmit electric current; "copper" in any
usual FORM can't be transparent. man of
vital temperament just can't be motive: man
of extreme mental temperament just can't be
vital or motive; the man of extreme motvity
just can't be judicial.
The essential of correct design is unity
In man created organizations resolvable into
units, should he able to specify the quail
ment parts, and the personal parts of each unit
We have made sufficient progress to specify
occasionally and to some extent materials and
equipment. Rival manufacturers spend much
money to bring to our notice proofs, certified
to by great authorities, that their materials and
equipment will meet our specifca lions. As to
personnel we are far less advanced.
The worst plan and the oldest is to create
the position for the man. The next plan, almost
universal is to bring man and position together
with very little reference to fitness. The only
plan admissible in good organization is to select
the man solely with reference to his aptitude
for the position.
When we turn from an unusually good form
of organization as it exists in the navies of the
world to other forms of organization, govern

THE young man of nineteen who is in love

according to his own earnest and stilted
confession to Beatrice Farfax-will read with
burning interest and a great deal of fear for
his financial welfare, the news that Valentine
Day is not what once it was, and that the debt
of love is not to be paid off by a five-cent lace
enmeshed Cupid.
All up and down Peachtree and Whitehall
the jewelers., the costumers. the candy shops and
the florists are announcing that the regular fell
lows have treated their lady loves very nicely
indeed this year In very best families, it
is said, they are awakening to the fact that Val
entine Day is growing closely akin to Christmas
and birthdays. making it quite the proper thing
to spend the better part of weeks salary on
some token of love and esteem
And maybe more There is one jeweler, at
least. who whispers the fact that one of the
love-lorn came to him with the design Of

deemed it their chivalric duty to write their
poems and draw their hearts and Cupids and
to send to the ladies of their hearts these more
or less artistic productions. At least they bore
the semblance of sincerity, which is more than
can he said of a box of candy.
Reminiscent of the gallant days is pretty
custom that has been established between the
two who are probably Atanta's best known
couple, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert j. Lowry. Recently
they celebrated their ifty-flrst anniversary of
their wedding, and it is told how, each Valen-
tine Day of the tifty-one, fancy lacy bright
hued valentine, with f1uttering hearts and Gu
pids, and tender verse, comes TO Mrs. Lowry
There is card nor sign of whence it came
And Mrs. Lowry opens it, with Colonel Lowry
looking on, and wonders who in the world could
have been so nice as to think of her. Then they
laugh together and wonder together, and Mrs
Lowry talks all day of how very, very nice it
of someone to send her SO pretty a valen-
tine And so it is from year TO year.
And all of this brings you to the belief that
st. Valentines Day is IA rather pretty occasion
even if it inspires nothing more than the time
honored coupet;

however, is the engravure on the lid of the cas-
