HsE and make sure that the thing II really DONE
No better formula Of success was ever uttered
than that railroad mans ORGANIZE, DEPUTIES,
SUPERVISE" But first, Is you organise and
when organizing time comes, you must not say, II

to do tho organizing. -e.
And second, you must DEPUTZE and you must
not fear the BOTHER of selecting deputies talking
to them, winding them up, encouraging them. Do
not pass that on to others whether you are organs

store. or q gigantic industry
And third, AFTER you have organized and

Tho owner, president foreman, manager OF
superintendent Of street railway system who says,
Il can't be bothered tell somebody else,' when he
hears of even the simplest complaint is not fit for
his job.
The head man SUPERVISOR should make it his
business to know WHY the complaint reached him,
why it was not adjusted where it started And 10
on all the way down.
And readers, YOUNG men and women especially,
although you may not be at the head Of railroad,
street system, q steel trust, shipyard or even
q small grocery store nevertheless this picture in
terests you
For each of you is the head of an org.niza.

And just as the great railroad needs organizing
deputixing and supervising, 50 YOU, the individual

SUPERVISION

TIES to carry out my plans of well organized

are at your command. They are the HABITS THAT
YOU FORM. Decide to go to bed at certain hour
and rise at a certain hour YOU form the HABIT,
and habit is your deputy working for you, Just a.
the superintendent Of the oil company works for the
owner while the owner plays golf
The habits you form better deputies than the
richest man can hire Every habit once really
formed is powerful; never forgets neglects.
The day you were born you formed the habits Of
eating, breathing and sleeping. You have never
had to remind yourself about that, the DEPUTIES
OF HABIT have attended to the three tasks for you
Other habits, regularity in work. punctuality.
Cleanliness deep breathing and thousand othen
will do as much good work and regular daily work
for Inc organization you call myself" as was ever
done by the most high priced deputies appointed 70
represent tho great corporation owner.
e
And the organization you call myself" also gsts
its complaints Every sign Of ill health is q com.
plant, and you must not answer, II cannot be
bothered" Every decayng tooth, every touch Of
rheumatism, and especially every tendency to shirk
or neglect is q complaint and warning. And those
that reply to these complaints from within with
Don't bother me- are going down hill
Know what your work is and attend to it. The
thing that you do not permit to bother you now viii,
neglected come back and bother you in the future,
whether it be tho Just complaint Of tho public that
eventually will end private ownership Of public
necessities whether 1t be in the humble individual
the neglected complaint of any part Of tho body.
Organize, deputize, supervise your
business
