or things invitably creates more sys
tenn in the larger ones. At his owr
desk, within his own affairs, the desl
man finds the schooling that eventually
makes the systematic course of ac-
ton the obvious course in every
problem he undertakes. When promo
ton comes, he does not have to organ.
ize and train himself to fill it; ne is an
organized man when the big opportun.
ity calls him, and his agency or de-
partment becomes well organized ir
turn, because he knows no other way
to direct his affairs so easily.
All this is true and commonplace
enough to all experienced Office men
yet, how many railways, until recent
years, have made any definite, persist
ent effort to school their agents and
clerks in method and organization
The manager of a privately owned
business will eagerly and gladly pay
large sums of money to have a corps
of systematic specialists come into his
trsiness and put system into his
books and his records, but, as stated
before, until recently, the railway
managers never thought of spending
money to put system into their men.
A course of instruction in desk sys-
tenn can accomplish three definite and
vital results. 1t can increase the ca
pacity of each desk and thereby re-
duce the number of employees for any
given piece of labor. 1t can increase
the quality and accuracy of the work
turned out; and lastly, it can train
up and develop more valuable men
for the future. But this cannot be done
by platitudes or maXims; by passing
around copy book" instructions and
do it Now" notices. 1t means care
full analysis of the exact class of work
handled by all employees, and actual,
specific schemes and short cuts work
ed out to expedite and accomplish this
work in the least time, with the best
results.
A mistake may be the keynote of
systematic foundation of success.
The secret is simple: don't make the
same mistake twice. The misbilling

"System In neAgency is One
OF Topics OF Interest To The
Public, By Agent Hightower

The public should have common in
terest with the railroads in the con-
duct of their affairs, because the roads
are public carriers and the people are
interested in the welfare of themselves
ard the road.
The Times-Recorder today prints an
article by ]. E. Hightower, agent of
the Central OF Georgia railway, at
Americas, which appeared in The
Right Way, the official publication Of
the railway. The topic is System in
the Agency" and the public will be
interested in the following article:
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-11-14

1t does not need a million dollar re-
sponsibility and ten thousand dollar
job to develop a good executive. Clerk
or accountant, if he has the care of a
desk and its contents, has just as good
an opportunity to ground himself in
the principal of system and manage
ment, as the high-salaried department
head, if he be as ready to take advant-
age of it.
System means simply the ability to
get the thing done; to get it done
thoroughly, and to get it done on
time. 1t does not mean forms and
books, red tape and such; it means
doing the task nearest at hand; doing
it in season; and doing it in full. If
man puts this trinity of effort into
every task that comes up, day after
cay, year in and year out, it matters
not whether he makes out bills of
lading, bills freight, checks, makes
delivery of freight from the ware
house, sells tickets, makes car re-
ports, does the accounting or is gener.
al manager of the railway for which
he works, system will develop in

works are first masters of themselves,

1t matters not how lowly and unim-
portant the desk, it can be made to.
provide complete training course in
system and organization, if its owner
cares to make it So Recently, in an
article on personal routine. a director
of large corporation makes this
shrewd observation; ct is not only
unnecessary to wait for larger oppor-
tunities than your desk provides-it is
unwise. You may never get the larg-
er opportunities, and even if you do,
they may ocme too late. You may find
that you were not sufficiently ground
ed in the rudiments of system, as pre-
sented in your every day, individual
work, to make you truly fit to moster
the higher and more intricate
branches"

What Constitutes System

what constitutes system"
The clerk who keeps an orderly
desk uses much the same sort of in
genuity and method used by the man
ager who keeps an orderly railway
system. When the clerk keeps his
desk free of chaos, dead wood and red
tape; when he handles multiplicity
of detail with methodical precision and
despatch; when he completes each
task and proves its accuracy before
passing it on to someone; when he
checks up each days work at night
and satisfies himself that he has over
looked no promise, and forgotten moth
ing; when he makes these things an
unchanging part of his days routine,
ard does them with the unfailing GER
tainty of a machine, week in and week
out-he is training himself in the very
basic principles of business organiza-
tion-training himself in capacities
that will lenable hin. to handle with
eace the heaviest tasks that will
come with promotion later on.
The systematic agent or clerk is
like any other flesh and blood success;
he is not born with his equipment full
fedged and ready-made; he either
makes it himself, or has it made for
him. In the latter case, he gets his
system from fatherly head, who
takes him under his wing, and schools
and coaches him in systematic pre-
cepts until the pupil learns by note
the methods of the master" But most
systematic men, and the best Of them
NAVE themselves; and the system in
thees men is real enduring and in
grained The self-made system man
invents his own system and invents il
because he finds it necessary. He has
to discover way to keep ahead OF
the other fellow, and in devising such
d way, he cultivates. not only system
but his initiative and his originality.
The systematic habit starts witt
system in the little things. The gen
eral manager with the seemingly ex
haustless capacity for detail, MAY
have started as the clever delivery
clerk, who found that he could deliver
freight to three times as many dray:
by having his freight systematically
arranged in the warehouse Again
perhaps, he began as the ambitious
claim and trace clerk, who found thai
by using paragraph forms, he coult
answer twice as many letters as the
chief clerk, who dictated every letter
