"AND HE GOETH"
By Bruce Barton
in Red Book Magazine

Several years ago when | had just
been promoted to my first real job,
called on a business friend of mine.
He is a wise and experienced handler
of men! asked him what suggestions
he could make about executive re-
sponsibility.
"You are about to make the great
discovery" he said. "Within week
or two you will know why it is that
executives grow gray and die before
their time You will have learned
the bitter truth that there are no eff
ficient people in the world"
| am still very far from admitting
that he was right, but l know well
enough what he meant. Every man
knows who has ever been responsible
for a piece of work, or had to meet a
payroll.
Recently another friend of mine
built house. The money to build it
represented a difficult period of saw
ing on the part of himself and his
wife; it meant overtime work and
self-denial, and extra effort in behalf
of a long-cherished dream.
One day when the work was well
along, he visited it, and saw work
man climbing a ladder to the roof
with a little bunch of shingles in his
hans.
"Look here" the foreman cried,
"can't you carry a whole bundle of
shingles?"
The workman regarded him sullen-
ly.
81 suppose / could" he answered,
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1919-12-24
if l wanted to bull the job"

If wanted to Dull the JoD.
By "bull the job" he meant "do an
honest days work"
At ten o'clock one morning l met
still another man in his office in New
York. He was munching a sandwich
and gulping a cup of coffee which his
secretary had brought in to him.
~ had to work late last night" he
said, land meet very early appoint
ment this morning. My wife asked
our maid to have breakfast half
hour early so that | might have a
bite and still be here in time"
"When l came down to breakfast,
the maid was still in bed"
She lives in. his home, and eats, and
is clothed by means of money which
his brain provides; but she has no
interest in his success, no care what
ever except to do the minimum of
work.
"The real trouble with the world
today is a moral trouble" said
thoughtful man recently. "a large
proportion of its people have lost all
conception of what it means to rem
der an adequate service-in return for
the wages they are paid"
He is a generous man. On almost
any sort of question his sympathies
are likely to be with labor, and so are
mine. | am glad that men work
shorter hours than they used to, and
in certain instances l think the hours
should be even shorter. l am glad
they are paid higher wages, and hope
they may earn still more.
But there are times when my SYM
pathy goes out to those in whose be-
half no voice is ever raised-to the
executives of the world, whose hours
