Making Good in Business
THE SUCCESS THAT is PERMANENT
BY ROGER W. BABSON.

While working with the latter 1 was
taken i'll in 1901.
This made it necessary first for me
to go west and later for me to live in
Wellesley Hills. doing all of my work
to start the statistical work which
has lately developed TO such large
proportions. These circumstances COM
PEELED me to devote my time exclu-
sively in Wellesley Hills to the study
of statistics for a few banking houses
that permitted me to do a part of their
statistical work.
Converted by Statistics.
The physical rest, forced upon me
by my sickness. gave me time to
think. Furthermore, figures con-
stantly before me opened my eyes
Gradually my interest in religion
came back. I again became active
in church work. and my old religious
enthusiasm returned. But this time
I was converted by statistics rather
than by the appeals OF an evangelist.
Thus my present condition really
dates from 1902 rather than from
1894. although I doubtless owe much
to Evangelist Munhall, who broke the
ground.
Yes. I was reconverted by statis-
tics. and no man who earnestly
studies the figures which come to my
desk could fail to be converted like
wise. Let me give a few illustra-
tions.

Like other young men, 1 had been
namely that everything comes from
land and labor" The study of
statistics, however. indicated this to
be true. Statistics. however.
showed that there was just as much
land and natural resources in this
country thousand years ago as
there Is today. but it was undeveloped.
It waited for Christianity and the
teachings of integrity. faith and
service before men were willing to
do more than was necessary to fill
their daily needs.
China has greater natural resources
than the United States. and, moreover.
has far greater available labor; and
yet, where Is China today? China has
the land and labor but it lacks the
religion which supplies the inspiration
land and labor. Statistics show that
the orthodox teaching Of economics is
wrong and cannot stand the test Of
history. Civilization has been built
upon three fundamentals; namely.
land, labor and Christianity. What
cylinder of an engine, that is Chris
tianity to the land and labor about
which we hear SO much.
Some lecturers on political econ
omy refer to the missionary in sar-
castle terms as the one who blazes
the trail for the sale of rum and the
spreading of unspeakable diseases.
Statistios. however. teach that not
withstanding the rum and unspeak-
able diseases, the civilization of every
nation dates from the coming to it
OF the missionaries. Then and only
then were the natives willing to con-
slider something besides the satisfac-
ton of their own material wants.
Then and only then were they willing
to respect the rights and property of
others. Then and only then was 1t
possible to develop the credit system

SMALL CITIES NEED
| NEW HOUSES MOST
Building Age Discovers Some
Surprising Facts in Re-
gard to Construction.

There is a vastly greater amount of
construction needed by towns under
$4,000 population than by the larger
cities of the United States, reports
from a recent QUESTIONABLE sent by
the Building Age to 1000 chambers
Of commerce in all sections of the
country show.
In the smaller class of cities men,
TONED the returns from this question
naire indicate a shortage of s22.S05
houses. Compared with this the
larger cities of the country need 319.-
52S houses. This means. it is stated.
that the expenditure in the next few
years to relieve the housing situation
in the country will be over one and a
half times as great in the smaller
cities as in their larger neighbors,
and that. great as the shortage is in
the large towns. the chief demand for
housing construction will be in the
smaller cities for many years to come.
SmaII-Town Demands
The second most interesting fact
learned in this investigation is the
demand for the small-town apartment
house. The returns from the ques-
tionnaire indicate that 1887 apart
ment houses were needed in the cities
under $4,000 population, while there
was shortage in cities over $4,000
population of 2.5S2 apartment houses.
In the smaller towns such apartments

story to small stores and will provide
for from four to eight families above.
Many towns of from 10000 to 1900
inhabitants expressed a real need for
one or more apartment houses costing
over 100000.
The greatest need however, in the
country today is for houses. 1.142.453
being required to relieve the imme
diate shortage at an estimated eXpen-
diture of $5,31S,0S9,5o0 This figure
represents about two-thirds of the
total cost of all classes Of structures
required in all communities. And OF
this figure. cities under $4,000 inhabi-
tants require an expenditure over one
and a half times as great as the
larger cities. A few cities. IL per

believe that the spring of 1922 will
see the long g-heralded building boom
well under way. Not one of the an
swers received puts the real building

than April, 1922, while many of them
scheduled it for the late fall, and
some even earlier.
Answers were received from go
cities in every part of the United
States. One hundred of these cities
have a population of $4,000 or over;
| the remaining 100 have a population
of less than $4,000 inhabitants.

also for teaching me the lesson that
making good in business Is some-

any time.
The second and only other man for
whom I ever worked became involved,
unfortunately. in the selling Of some
forged bonds Of a Massachusetts town.
Although I believe him to have been

victed and served a term in states

But this was not all. The man who
first loaned me dollar, who was then
treasurer of one of Boston's trust

men who had made good in business,
resigned from the bank to head a
stock exchange firm. Later he be-

transactions and was sent to Sing Sing

Although these men are still friends
of mine, the experience made a great

them These experiences taught me
that there is something to making
good in business as well as to max

this Institution has probably changed
much since those days. 1t was tnen
like some other large educational IN
stitutions, a whirlpool OF materiallsm.

the general atmosphere of the institu-

I graduated in 1898 as a civil en-
gineer. and during the summers at
college had been doing engineering
work in connection with the building
of highways. But I greatly preferred
work of statistical nature rather
than general engineering. Hence,
upon graduation, 1 secured a position.
through an experience already de-
scribed, in the statistical department
of a Boston bond house. Later 1 be-

Invention vs. Inspiration.
Economics teach that we owe civil
ization to the inventors. to the bank
ers who finance the inventions and
to the captains of industry who manu-
facture them. Yet. wherever illustra-
tions of the worlds greatest inven-
tions are given movable type is men,
tionerd as one of the most important.
But what do statistics show in con-
nection with the development of the
art of printing? They teach that
movable type was invented by the
Chinese 5000 years ago, when they in
vented the compass and many other
things which are in universal use to-
day, but Of which no practical use was
made until within the last century.
The Chinese made no use of these
things because they were interested
only in filling their own bellies. They
had no passion to serve or to teach,
no desire to develop or gospelize.
The use of movable type lay DOR
mant until the time Of the Reforma-
tion, when men became eager to read
the Bible. 1t was the demand for
the Bible which developed the print
first book of any importance set with
movable type. Statistics show that
the same thing is true of the arts and
sciences. The great paintings were
not executed for commercial purposes.
as is much of the art of today, but

Scriptures and the writings Of its
teachers. The Renaissance was due
to the fact that the people of Europe
were on fire with the, ideals of Chris
tianity. and a desire to be Of service.
Agriculture, chemistry. mathematics
and nearly all Of the arts and sciences
were born within the walls Of some
monastery by monks fired with the
spirit Of Jesus.
Not only are inventions dormant
until put to use by men and women
inspired by Christianity, but inven-
tions which are put to use by others
become only a source of destruction.
In the early days of the aeroplane
we had long. eloquent articles Of its
mighty possibilities; but how was it
first used? 1t was not used to carry
the Bible, but fell into the hands of a
materialistic nation. The aeroplane
was first used to bomb schoolhouses,
murder innocent people and destroy
whole communities. Without the gos-
pei. inventions become source of de-
struction instead of a blessing.
Statistics show that the popular text
books on economies are fundamental
ly lacking in their diagnosis of ma
tional and industrial growth. Inven-
tions credit, and all Of these things
of which We learn in economics are
nothing in themselves. Furthermore,
they can become destructive as we'll
as constructive. Statistics teach that
the important thing is the inspiration
of Christianity, which both causes
these economic forces to be utilized
