necessary, but the habit of taking
both on the boss's time is altogether
too general. The men who tell in
the esteemed american Magazine
how they became the heads of
great industries in which they
began life as apprentices had
enough appreciation of the value of
work to themselves to keep ut it
without thinking about the clock.
Just at present America is con-
fronted With dangerous foreign
competition, because Europeans
know that they have to work hard
and long and too many Americans
fancy that protracted and arduous
effort Is injurious. This notion not
only Injuries their own chances of
going ahead but it harms the whole
country, for it sets a fashion of idle
ness, and no fashion is more con-
tagious.
Unfortunately, not all men can
find-as all men ought to find
their chief pleasure in their work,
But they can and will find that it ls
their only opportunity for advance
ment. And when they make this
discovery the danger that the ma
tion may "totter and fall" will have
nassed.
