RESPONSIBILITY.

RESPONSIBILITY is one of the
most important factors in success.
1t is one thing that a parent should
stress as fully a honesty in the up
bringing Of a boy or girl. =
Now and then you meet with chill
dren as well as men who possess no
conception of responsibility. This is
often true in the matter Of changing
positions.
The leaving of an employed without
notice is just as open to criticism as
the releasing from employment a man
OF girl without proper warning.
Some people consider these little
things but there is always a time com
ing when an employee or an employer
wants a recommendation and then the
fact that such a breach Of business
ethics had occurred often results in
the loss of a prospective position or
the failure to secure a good man to
fill a vacancy.
