To follow the history of the organi-

would be to speak of dozens OF success
es, each following the other so quickly
that 1t would almost make the head
swim. To understand the difficulties
under which Mr.. Wanger worked IL is
necessary to state that Hanover IS
little country village in which there Is
no costuuler,' no wig maker. no place
where properties, scenery, costumes,
makeup and other stage necessities can
be obtained. Everything pertaining to
the productions was done by the stu
dents themselves. In all, during the
last year. the students In the Dartmouth
organization have presented eighteen
plays, and next year Mr.. Wanger hopes
TO give weekly performances.
The audiences that attend the Dart
mouth theater performances are ex-
actly the same type OF audiences that
managers hope to get on the road.
They are made up of town folk, with

But at this moment he burst. From
which Aesop draws the moral: Self

Once upon a time there was an en-
ploye in big business. He began as
the proverbial office boy, and by degrees
worked himself up to the place of being
the man over several men employs-a
boss.
He assumed airs. He became dicta-
tortal. He did not have time to discuss
things with the men, as he had been
doing. And rather than go into the
work Of the business that he was so
familiar with, he left il TO bosses below
him.
He assumed airs OF ownership and
sought to initiate his owners. When the
employer took a trip to Europe this
man arranged one. When the owner
bought a motor car this boss soon had
similar car. He used the same priced
cigars, &C, &c.
Now. things might have gone along
as before for this man had he been
able to improve the business. But he
got the idea that the business was to
improve him. He thought IL was all 60
ing along finely, and he was we'll salts
fed with himself.
One day the owner, noting the condi-
ton OF the profit ledger, took a,/notiOn
to go through the works. He found
many things that led to the reasons for
the deficits. ne turned them all to the
seIf-satisfaction that the boss had de-
veloped.
He learned that instead OF this boss
being on the job he had left his work
to the lesser bosses. And everybody's S
business is nObody's business. The own
er realized that the man he had placed
in the executive chair thought himself
too important to stoOp to the real work,
