PUTTING JOY INTO WORK.

Workers IN the great engineering
conquents over nature often show a
large enthusiasm for their work. This
seems particularly true Of some ~
the huge projects In western America
and at Panama. Many Of these enRi-
neerlng conceptions and operations
have been accomplished amid thrills
Of delight that have bound the per
formers to their tasks. We hear of
the pride and interest felt In their
work. not only by the engineer and
heads Of departments, but by the la
borers al Panama,
II the spirit Of JOY in the work
could be made more general u would
eject a wonderful difference In the
world. One OF the teachings Of VIII
liam Morris and his school was the
value Of Joy IN ones work. Great
work Is Joyous work and good work
In any line must be pleasurable. or II
will fall short somewhere.
II has been shown that the en-
ployer who lays out his work to suit
the taste OF his employees and then
leaves them largely 20 get the results
in their own way. without too much
direction and interference. gets the
best results. The surroundings OF the
employees should be made as pleasant
as possible. AZ congenial as circum-
stances will permit Civil engineers
are fascinated with their work large
~ because they are left free to carry
out their own conceptions. They feel
In II TN exuiting sense Of freedom and
strength
Here ls one OF the reasons why
modern farming and It's problems are
beginning to attract so many men. IL
offers q wonderful field for pleasure
to the man of energy and immagina-
ton. Also. conducted as farming is to-
day, II is profitable, The agricultural
colleges are making Il easy for the
farmer 10 get the beat results from
his soil. He cannot make experiments
with soils and with rotations Of crops
and with fertilizers. II is difficult for
him TO keep tab on methods Of feed
ing for years at time In order
eventually. TO learn what ration IL best
for cattle, horses and hogs In order
10 produce the best results with the
greatest economy.
An such problems are being solved
ny the agricultural colleges for the
farmer. Instead of dealing with gen.
lefalities. as In the past. under the ex-
tension work. just being lnaugurated
under the new law. the agricultural
college Is bringing It's science to the
individual farmer.
when the farmer or any other man
worth while, can get the best out Of
the work he Is doing. either he must
be brother TO the OK or he finds a
supreme pleasure In what he is do
Ing. Ills greatest regret must be that
he cannot do il better
The greatest problem OF any work
or. If he but knew Il, Is to get Joy into
his work. II is half the battle. The
great problem OF any employer is TO
get joyous workers. men who love the
game and are not doing II merely
FOR the money.

Several years ago, before his cleo
ton to the presidency, William H..
Taft was campaigning in the west
and stopped at the home of an old
friend. The friends home was small
and poorly built and as the presiden-
tial candidate walked about in his
little room the unsubstantial building
fairly shook beneath his tread. When
he climbed into bed the dilapidated
affair broke down, precipitating him
unceremoniously on the floor. His
friend hurried to his door TO ascer-
tain the cause of the commotion.
What is the matter, Bill?" he ask
ed.
"Oh. I'm all right, | guess" replied
Mr. Taft od-naturedly. But. say.
