INEFFICIENCY
By H. AddingtOn Bruce


T NEFFICIENCY has many causes. But
more and more the conviction is grow
ing on ne that it's great cause is wholly
psychological-a faulty attitude of the
worker toward his work.
If a man thinks-as thousands of men
seem to think today-that work is nothing
more than a means of earning: a livelihood
conscious desire to exert ones self only to
the extent that is necessary hold job.
For work will be deemed disagreeable
necessity, something to be avoided as much
as possible.
The mind and the heart will be directed
away from work. A multiplication of holt
days will be welcomed--even "strikes'-as a
means of lodging tho unpleasant.
Inefficiency will then be inevitable. Also
If only because this attitude to work is es-
sentially wrong-there will be inevitable
restlessness, unhappiness, and discomfort.
This because to avoid work. to shirk work,
to underworld, is to go contrary to one of the
basic instincts of humankind-the instinct to
contribute through creative seIr-expression to
the welfare the race. Gilded loafers and
misled artisans alike need to take this truth
home to themselves.
Lies purpose is not the mere satisfaction
of any individual member of the social Or
ganism. 1t is the contribution, by every in
dividual of something that will benefit the
through such contribution can the individual
gain the satisfaction he rightly Graves.
That is why the gregarious instinct is
given to man. In obedience to that instinct
he turns enthusiastically to work of some
sort that will rebound to the good of his fell
low men. To ia. thus to turn-to despise
or hate works both to injure society and
to cheat himself of dissatisfaction by re-
fusing to take the one course through which
he can win it.
I ask the idlers, the lazy the pleasure
chasers, the deluded followers of those who
perpetually cry, "strike, strike!"
Are you happy? Is life yielding to you
what you feel you have every right to expect
it to yield? Does your high pay for scant
effort bring you joy?"
You know very well that the more time
you have to "enjoy" yourself the less real
enjoyment is yours. You wonder why. The
answer is simple. You are defying basic
instinct of your nature, and you are being
penalized for your defiance.
Recognize that to find Joy in work is the
one sure way of finding joy at all Recognize
that happy life and a working life are
synonymous. Pay no further heed to those
who would subtly persuade you to work less
and less.
None could do you greater harm than they.

THE GREATEST MISCHIEF
MAKERS IN THE WORLD
BV DR.. Frank Crane


The business of mischief making is an old
one and has produced persons of overtop-
ping genius.
In the rivalry of doing damage, and bring
Ing loss, ruin, and misery to the greatest
number, it is no slight achievement to stand
in the front rank
Chief and father of ALL according to tradi-
ton, was the Devil, who, angered by the
sight of our first parents living in idyllic
Eden, managed to get them expelled, and
started the race on its tumultuous path of
trouble.
Hebrew lore makes mention of the Philis-
tines, whose main purpose seems to have
been to harass and corrupt the chosen peo-
pie
whose fierce and fanatic rule has always
been thorn in the flesh of Christendom.
Mention might be made of the barbarian
tribes who pillaged the loneliness of Greece,
made glorious Rome a heap, and brought
on the darkness of the Middle Ages.
In latter days the sudden towering into
monstrous efficiency Of Prussian Junkerism,
with It's fr1ghtfulness in war and its permea-
ton of the world by its spies and intrigues,
appears to be the most conspicuous sample
of sheer deviltry.
But now arises a new and subt1er clan
of hate makers.
Whatever may be the outcome eventually
or the immediate advantage Of a concert of
nations to prevent another such outbreak of
devastation as we have just passed through
all well-informed persons agree that the act
ual, dependable, and practical guaranty of
world peace lies in the good understanding,
the entente cordiale, and the honest co-opera-
ton of the English-speaking peoples.
No possible combination of nations could
resist the force of united Canada, Australia
United States of America, and Great
Britain.
This force is essentially peace loving, be-
ing commercial and not military.
Whatever pact for world peace may be
formed, this combination will be the iron
of it.
With the unity of the English-speaking
states behind it, any world agreement will
have authority; without it, only oratory.
Those twisted minds therefore who delight
to SOW discord among the nations composing
this racial group entitled to the blue
ribbon in the worlds exhibition of master
criminals.
Justice William Renwick Riddell spoke in
truth and soberness the other day at the
Canadian club, of New York, when he said:
"Nor did nor do I think that it is of vital
Importance to the world whether the present
League of Nations be adopted or not. The
peace of the world, the whole future Of the
world, will ultimately rest upon something
quite other than the League OF Nations. It
will rest upon the peace, the harmony, the
soul-unity of the English-speaking peoples"

The City That FORCES Ahead

~ GENEROUSLY commenting on Atlantas
building record for the first eleven
months of the current year, the Me-
ridian, Mississippi, Dispatch remarks: There
is a spirit in Atlanta which FORCES ahead and
knows no permanent obstruction. While
many cities are standing still in awe of the
high costs of construction, the Georgia cap
ital points to 1920 as the year in 'hich it
has attained it's greatest building growth"
Without pretending in any wise that her
full duty in this field Of service and enter
prise has been done, Atlanta we'll may re-
joice that the twelvemonth drawing to a
close has been turned to so good an ac-
count despite the towering costs. The COM
munitys housing problem still lacks mucn
of having been solved, and there is still
shortage of quarters for business and indus
try. Particularly regrettable 1t is that more
progress has not been made in plans to pro-
vide middle-priced dwellings which salaried
workers and wage earners can purchase, to
their advantage by easy installments; this
is a need that touches the fundamentals of
civic welfare, and one to. which every alert
city is giving earnest thought. Nevertheless,
substantial achievements stand to Atlanta's
credit in the years building record, and will
prove to be both slim 1lating and sus-
tanning influence in her days ahead.
To the extent that the city lives up to the
character which our Mississippi neighbor
graciously attributes to her, she will con-
tinue to prosper az progress True enter
prise consists, not simply in gathering har-
vests already ripe for whosoever will reap
them. but in breaking ground and going for
ward when only faith and courage can see
the way. Obstacles always will rise against
worthwhile Undertakings, doubts always will
besiege the nath to richest opportunity. But
Hanpy are they, whether men or cities, that
go constructivey ahead.

The Wealth DEVELOPER

GEORGIA TECH bulletin draws at

produce pig iron at from fifteen to eigh-
teen dollars ton less than Pittsburgh" and
that "altogether it sustains on steel prod

year, sum more than enough to finance

While Pittsburgh must import it's iron ore
and limestone from the Lake region by
long, circuitous and costly haul, Georgia
has in operation ore mines, coal mines and
limestone quarries, all within ten miles OF

distances to the East and the Middle West,

then re-sold to Georgia at handsome prof

1t is the splendid purpose of the Tech to

Of the present-day Tech had been estab-

now would be selling steel instead of ore,
fine pottery instead of clay, and all manner
of highly profitable goods instead of crude
materials. Much more important, however, is
the fact that if the Tech of today is given
an adequate and sorely needed endowment,
it will not be fifty years nor twenty-five, but
only a decade at the most before Georgia's
actual development will outstrip the bright

THE long friendly relations between the

Eden;c Georgia Cane!
1HE most convincing picture of a r

THE most convincing picture of a par
adise yet painted is that which rep
resents a morning faced family seated
beside golden stream on the banks of
which grow goodly trees that drop buttered
hot cakes as their fruit, and in the chan
mel of which flows, no such beggarly liquid
as water, but a royal, a glorious tide of
Georgia cane syrup.
This Edenic image comes blooming to
mind as we read the news that the Geor-
g1a-Florida Cane Growers Association has
attained to a membership of fifteen hum
dred. May their ranks increase to fifteen
thousand and then multiply again fourfold
Eve, admirable housewife as she was de-
spite her sex's curiosity, would not have
brought woe into the garden if she had
rested content with cane syrup and let the
pippins be, Olympus, that once shining
abode OF the immortals, would not have
come to grief, had it's banquets flowed less
of heady nectar and more of the Juice of
the cane. What were all the hives of
Hybla to single kettle, nay single lit
tie breakfast-table pot, of that palate-bless-
ing, soul-satisfying delciousness we call
Georgia cane?
By all means let the growers press their
plans to advertise their product throughout
America; for if they can but bring the
country at large and, after that, the wide,
wide world to a tasting knowledge of this
wondrous succulence, they will have done,
not only a highly profitable, but also a
highly beneficent deed.
