His Place in the SUI"

HERES your coming man. Win him now and
later on he win for you. All his faiths are I'M
smirched-his hopes untarnished Doubt has not
yet stained the spendor of his dreams He is yours
to mould for fine and dauntless ambitions.
There's your future partner. With proper care
and coaching you can shape him to any purpose He's
green timber Weather him carefully. See that he gets
chs place in the SUM- Protect him from rotting
facts and varying influences AS your business and your
years grow will the need for sound strong snoring
There's your stake-wimer-that yearing
there Bunging trainers haven't famed him. The men
who to you out Of other organizations have mostly
been spoiled by bad handling They were ridden too
early and too hard and their faults are fixed They
can't go the pace now because they weren't taught
true stride at the outset And so they must remain
selingpaters and load-hauers for the rest of their
days.
There's your understudy. This is his first employ
ment Therefore, he hash picked up any incorrect
lions or been tainted by inefficient methods His mind
hasn't recorded handicapping impression
The New Boy is the most important person on
your payroll. He personfes possibility.
Time and again, you have wished that you might
begin and pour your dearly bought experience into
fresh start. Well, do it by proxy.
Youth is adaptable credulous and imaginative
There isn't thing that child considers impossible
Intensity that element in his nature Keep it alive
Don't let it die under the skephcisn and cyncism of
disappointed rank and file.
He still believes in fairy tales-teach him the mod
ern kind-tell him some real ones-about Jim HILL ant
Woolworth, and Ford
Introduce him to the amazing characters in the
Dime Novels of Success: "Tom the Electrician or the
Train Butcher Who Became Wizard"; "Canny Andy
or the Immigrant Steel King.
Stimulate him to emulate them There's no telling
how far creduIity will go Or carry him.
Everything that the past ages and the sage asses
have definitely proven beyond the range Of human
capacity has been brought to pass by enthusiasm
without ears for Encouragement.
Catch them while they're young and educate 'em
to dash and dare-that's the system.
He may make good Office boys do qualify-one
is president of liability company another partner in
the biggest store on earth and two top-sde men in
This may be another such-with bit of
careful shaping
But even if he turns out to be a disappointment
suppose you don profit from little bigbrotherhood-
ISN'T there something besides dollars and cents in your
philosophy? Just imagine conditions reversed and be-
nave like you'd want the other to act, if your
BOY had to the harness through the play years.
What's that? Maudin sentimentaEty? Your
lines too important to waste on kids? Some corpora
lions don't agree with that-nOt at all. They've lately
)een running short of competent managers and before
ong all business will be following the example of GER
ain big companies with sufficient foresight to establish
raining schools for their future executives.
They've found that it pays-DIVIDENDS
But for that matter the fright thing is olvGgS the
bright thing to do
