THE SOCIAL LIFE OF BUSINESS.

Business. while often hard and even
cruel, does not refuse to consider the
human side of life.
Thousands of captains OF industries
and merchant princes recognize the
needs OF man as well as those Of
trade. and encourage many forms OF
social intercourse among their en-
plOyes, including the establishment Of
libraries, reading rooms, gymnasiums.
and the organization of athletic and
other societies.
Exhaustive experiment has shown
that healthy social life can be added
to business without detriment to finan-
cial profit, and that the more en-
ployees get together, play together as
well as work together, the more eff
cient they are likely to be.
Workers of the same grade natural
ly have much in common, and there is
no reason why they should not enjoy
one another's company in business
and out of 1t, why they should not
have a common business interest and
a social acquaintanceship and friend.
ship.
OF course, business must be at
tended to, and any social life which
interferes with the conduct of busi-
ness cannot very well be tolerated, but
there are forms of sociability which
the well-regulated store or factory
should recognize. and many of them
do.
Fellow employees should be friends
as well as business associates. They
should enjoy one another's company
at work as well as out of hours.

stead of st. Paul particularly pleased
his audience. A plea for the loyal

made by Mr.. Swindlehurst, as he laid

institutions. In closing he asked the
support of his audience not because
