One of the best most lucid and sensible state

newspaper. appeared In a recent issue of the
Miami Metropolis. Under the caption. Commits
Manager Simply Good Business" the fol-
lowing excellent paragraphs appeared:
In order to make a bank a successful insti-
tuition 1t must be run according to business
methods The stockholders in the bank select
directors in whom they have confidence and
these directors. in turn. elect the president of
the bank and other officials
Because the stockholders want their invest
ment safeguarded in every way and want the
bank to be sound and influential, they take a
great interest in the selection of the directors
and hold them responsible for the conduct of
the business while the directors in turn look
directly to the president OF the institution for
executive ability and clear-headed Judgment to
insure efficient management
Numbers of other business corporations are
manager by the same sort Of plan that makes a
bank model business institution. The stock
holders insist upon business efficiency and bust
ness methods. They know that attention to de-
taiis' elimination Of unnecessary expenditures,
careful buying and careful selling, only be
looked after through the right sort of system.
There is no sentiment in the successful business

Recently there appeared a learned discussion in
one Of the most prominent Of the New York publi-

and sufficient reason except that they preferred the
home to business life.
1t may be that prohibition has nothing to do with
this revolt of the women from business to the
home But The Journal believes If of these
expert investigators could follow those women back
to the homes, they would find that in many cases

THE POWER OF MUSIC
Brings Cheerfulness, Happi
ness and Stimulus
to Effort
TOWN COUNCIL

Years ago there was a popular
song entitled Music in the Air.
Il was song sung to a lifting air
and many sang it as if there were
music in their hearts as we'll as IN
the air. Perhaps the singing OF the
song created music in the hearts OF
others who sang it. Nothing with
which the air can be charged has
a greater value than music, and
business firms are beginning to feel
that it has commercial value. The
writer heard recently Of a manu-
facturer who had monographs al
most constantly in the workrooms
of his manufactory. He declared
that the music these wonderful IN
vrntions sent forth created a GER
tam atmosphere that gave an air OF
cheerfulness TO the rooms, and only
cheerful songs were played. One
hears Of one or two mercantile
houses that assemble their employees
for a brief "sing" before they go
to their work. The other day the
writer saw a picture Of workshop
III India and a woman sat at a
piano playing while the workers
did their work. 1t was claimed that
they worked better because OF THE
music.
1t is easv to believe it. The work
e. with a song on his lips and II
his heart will always work better
that the worker with glum FAC
and a glum feeling in the heart. l
is when there is music in the hear
that one attains the highest degre
Of achievement. 1t does not requlr
the insight of the psychologist t
prove why this is true. Cheerful
ness, happiness, music in the hear
these things are great stlmulu
to effort, just as low spirits

sun had ceased to shine for goo
