In addition to promoting a
school for the colored children,
the ladies of the P. E. O. have
put music into the public
schools. They have employed
Mrs. Flo Shell as teacher and
music will be a part of the regu-

big undertaking but the ladies
seem never to tire of doing all
the good they can in the COM

civic lines and in this new under

hearty support and liberal help
the movement is worthy of.

MOST MEN LABELED

FNECUT1VES who make q serious
- study of choosing men for posi-
tons have little difficulty in doing so.
Most men are labeled. Whether
they know it or not, their ability will
usually come out in a short cOnversa-
ton about the job they have applied
for.
Inability shows itself in the same
way.
The applicant may make every eff
fort to prove that he can hold a Job,
but if he can't hold it an able chooser
of men will find it out before he is
hired.
The competent man may be shy; he
may lack the instinct of putting his
best foot forward; he may be a poor
self-bOOster, awkward in expression.
Yet the label is there, and the execu-
tive who has studied men can read it.
In the same way the competent
business man can tell the nature of
the man he is about to do business
with. He may judge by a trick of
facial expression, by careless word
or a hasty opinion, by a tendency to
boast, or a refusal to boast, but he
can tell.
Mistakes happen, of course. But
they do not happen so often when the
direct method of judging men is en-
plOyed, as when the method is in
direct.
Many men of only average ability
can answer missionaries. Few can
talk with a shrewd prospective en-
ployer without disclosing to a very
large degree theis unfitness for the
job.
Don't be afraid to wear your label.

Ii is there anyway. 1t will be more
than you can manage to conceal it,
If it is a poor label, you can make
it better. But you cannot make it bet
ter by any conversational flights that
are not backed up by solid ability.
1t may be that the American people
like to be humbugged, but the Ameri-
can employer cannot afford to be
humbugged. and he seldom is.
If he is bad judge of men. he is
able to hire a good judge. and he
abides by that judges decisions.
You must stand or fall by the label
you wear. All you can do about it is
to make that label as good as pos
sible. and by hard work to exchange
it for better one just as soon as pos
sible.
And the very best label is the way
you do your work. not the way that
you talk about 1t.
