COMMERCIAL SECRETARY
MIST HAVE COOPERATION

be said that the commercial secre-
tary is one who keeps a secret. AT
the same time the shouting of facts
and figures from the housetop, so to
speak, is by no means the chief role
of the secretary. Sometimes, of
course, he must use a trumpet, but
too much of the tin-pan tactics is
bound to begin and end only in noise.
| have heard it said that the COM
mercial secretary is composite type,
and / think that comes more nearly
expressing it than anything else. He is
a fighter and peace-maker, salesman
and buyer, solicitor and solicited, all
combined into one. He must bring to
bear upon his work, if he does it in
diligently, some knowledge of many
things, and, above all, that must in
clude knowledge of human nature
an understanding of folks.
There is no question but that the
value of a good live secretary is be-
ing more and more fully appreciated.
Progressive municipalities all over
the land are realizing that the en-
plOy u6uG VI SECRETARY 10 q hOSCo-
sary step in a towns upbuilding.
And, am glad to observe, the labor
err is deemed worthy of his hire. The
salaries paid this class of workers are,
in the main, fair salaries, and in some
cases large salaries. The field is an
ever widening one, and many young
men of ability and promise are en-
tering it as a life profession. Pecun-
larry gain, however, cannot be the
Solely actuating motive of the broad
gagged secretary. He must have
something of the vision of the build
er and the creator. The joy of the
work must possess him and the thrill
Of the crowned structure stir his be-
ing. 1t is a great thing, a wonderful
shing to see material advancement
gather form and substance from a
heart throbbing energy which
brought the plans into being.
A discussion of the secretary can
best be divided into two sections:
What the secretary owes his organl-
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1920-03-16

cation, and what his organization
owes him.
Under the head of what he owes
his organization, he must realize that
great deal is expected of him
sometimes too much. He owes his
club several great mental qualities
loyalty, ingenuity, aggressiveness and
alertness. Like the fireman, he is
never off duty. Almost every other
kind of employee does his days work
and is done until the next day, but the
commercial secretary often does the
hardest part of his days work in the
privacy of his own room, flat on his
back in his bed, his eyes gazing up
into the ceiling during the dark hours
of the night. More than one secre-
tary has had born to him some great
idea under circumstances such as
, these. The secretary who has fair
conception of his duties and who at
tempts to perform these duties con-
scientiously has about all that he can
comfortably say grace over 365 days
in the year-for his mind is at work
on Sundays as we'll as the other days
of the week.
He owes it to his board Of direc-
tors to see that their confidence IN
HMM his capability and lndefatl-
gability-s shall not be misplaced.
Common sense will teach him, espe-
cially after he has spent sometime
in the work, what his club may have
right to expect of him in all rea-
son. and what it has not right to
expect of him. His is the eagle eye
which surveys the prospects and pos
sibilities for his community, and his
are the fingers which should be kept
steady on the pulse of his communl-
tvs interests. He might be termed
the agent for his town and COM
munity.
Now, here is the other side of the
picture. 1t is unfortunately true that
too many commercial organizations
expect great deal of their secre-
tary but are inconsistent in that they
are not willing that he should expect
as much of them. The club has a
duty to its secretary no whit less than
his duty to it. No matter how able
the secretary, no matter how conscl-
entious, how hard working, how will
ing, and how intelligent he is pre-
destined to failure unless his direc-
tors and his lay membership stand
like a stone wall behind him and all
his efforts, his ventures and his
hopes.
Financial support is well enough,
but it is less important than moral
support. The commercial club mem
Der who gives his dollar, or ten dol
lars, or fifty dollars month to the
treasury of his organization and stops
at that is not very effective mem
Der. Too many members are willing
to contribute to their funds, but not
many of their time and their indivl-
dual earnest effort. They are not
willing to attend meetings of the di-
rectors and of the general organlza-
ton. They imagine their time to be
so valuable that they attend few ID
any committee meetings, and If they
are asked to take the streets and ex,
ert some actual physical effort to-
wards the consummation of an indus
trial or commercial idea they fine
some excuse for refusing, an excuse
sufficient to salve their own con
science, but which has no reason a
all behind it.
The secretary is a human being
just as you are, with all OF you

lions to men assembled here who have
given years of study and effort to
this line of work. To a large ex-
tent I can only speak in generalities.
Certain it is that the word, so far
as the commercial secretary is con-
cerned, has completely lost its first
and literal meaning. 1t can hardly

shortcomings and faults. His frail-
ties are practically the same as yours;
he makes his mistakes just as you do.
At bottom, when you scratch him,
you will find that he is common,
everyday, hard working white man.
He is no magician, who comes to
your town with wand concealed I'M
derneath his coat which he can take
therefrom, wave it in the air two or
three times mysteriously and watch
the town grow. He must have your
steady support at all times. He is
merely the executive head of your or
ganization, and if you say to yourself,
eve have a salaried secretary, paid
to put this thing over, the rest of
us will go fishing" you are throw
ing good money after bad every time
YOU invest a penny in his salary, or
in the other legitimate overhead ex-
pense of the club.
There are various angles from
which one might approach this sub
iect. "The Secretary" | have chosen
to handle it from these two view
points because they, together, no
doubt do constitute the one greater
problem in relation of the secretary to
his club and of it to him When the
secretary on the one hand and his or
ganization on the other both obtain
a full realization of their respective
duties and obligations and when with
an idea of mental helpfulness they
nut their shoulders to the wheel in
constant unison that club, wherever it
may be, is going to be a success; and
when one side or the other neglects
it's duties or obligations the club is
surely predestined to an ignominious
failure.
Let us remember this if we go for
ward, whether secretary, whether di
rectors, or whether general members,
and strive to see that no one shall
have the right to point the finger of
scorn at us and say, "You have fallen
down." i am going to endeavor very
earnestly to do my duty as | see it.
NV board of directors and my mem
bers back at home are the kind that
inspire secretary, and | apprehend
no difficulties in being able to do my
duty so long as they maintain that
feeling toward me. All of us-secre-
taries, directors and members-are
working for a glorious thing, the ad
vancement of the commercial, indus
trial and civic interests of our re
spective communities. 1t is a great
fight; the victory is worth while.

AN ISLAND IN THE AIR
is A CURIOSITY IN MEXICO
Seventy Acres in Area and On Top
Is a Town of Artistic Charm.

Three miles south of the Mesa En-
canbada in Mexico IS splendid speci-
men of fantastic erosion-an island
in the air; a rock with overhanging
sides nearly 400 feet high, seventy
acres in area on the fairly level top,
indented with countless bays, notched
with dizzy chasms. The greater part
of the island overhangs the sea like a
huge mushroom, and on the top stands
a town, which for artistic charm, eth
biological interest and romantic his
tory has no peer. This little town of
Acoma il one of the prehistoric
Pueblo architecture. 1t was only
with inconceivable labor this island
town in the air was built. 1t was
reached by a mere trail of toe holes
up the stem of the mushroom" The
age of the island is not known, except
that it was already old in 1910.

NEVER LET GO OF SUITCASE
Former Congressman, on Visit TO
France, Proved Himself Superior
to Adverse circumstances.

Dudley Doolittle, who used TO be In
congress from Kansas, recently re-
turned from Europe, where he went on
secret mission for the United States
government.
While In France, Mr.. Doolittle had
the unusual experience of roaming
around several hundreds of battlefields
with seventy-six-pound suitcase
clasped firmly in his arms. Shortly
after Doolittle landed in Paris, and
just before he started for the battle
fields, the handle broke off his suit
case, which contained number Of
valuable documents and papers which
were almost as heavy as hardware
samples. There was no porter around
to help D0olittle into his automobile,
nor was there any around during the
ensuing ten days Of his "trip. There
fore, there was nothing for him to do
but to clasp the suitcase firmly to his
chest and get the best view of the bat
tlefiedS that he could from behind the
obstruction.
Doolittle says that he got so used to
viewing war scenes from behind the
suitcase that in order to enjoy movies
of the war now he has to take min
lature DOLLHOUSE to the motion picture
thcaters with him and hold ii on his
lap throughout the performance.
