Witchcraft and the Courts

There Is nothing the wizard does
not know and little that he cannot do.
For instance, there is small island
called Ting Won about eighteen
miles from New Hanover in the New
Guinea archipelago. The inhabitants
of Ting Won consider themselves
part of certain New Hanover tribe
at Wassenga, and the natives main
tain that the witch doctor of Ting
Won, by looking into a certain pool,
can sec all that passes at Wassenga
If a Wassensa boy dies, the natives
of Ting Won say that. through the
powers of their witch doctor, they
know of his death long before the
news could travel by any ordinary
means. At the present time there are
stringent laws against the practice
OF witchcraft in the islands, and the
native courts are continually filled
with cases in which the subject of
litigation, if not pigs or women, is
sure to be witchcraft. But no laws
can stamp out the psychology of
which the witch doctor is the
product. and the courts actually
foster the superstitious reverence in
which he is held. One day a group
of police boys in British Panua drag
Eed an old man into the presence of
the resident magistrate, on the &C
cusation that he had kept the rain
from falling on that particular patch
of ground under cultivation by the
plaintiff. The magistrate, after
listening to the charge. said to the
accused: Il do not believe YOU did
this thing. You had better plead Not
guilty."
But OF course I did," answered
the old man. Il stopped the rain on

Lazy Efficiency

Writing under the heading 1.-THE
Wisdom of Laziness" in the Harper's
Magazine, Fred c. Kelly says:
Frank B. Gilbreth, the great in
dustrial engineer and student of hui
man motions, frequently makes NOV
ing pictures of expert workmen in
various trades, to determine how few
different movements are needed in
performing piece Of work. He finds
that the best worker-that is, the one
from whom others can learn the most,
IS invariably a lazy man, willing to
work only just hard enough to hold
his job. He is too lazy to waste a
single motion that he can avoid. The
more energetic man is far less eff
cient. because he doesn't mind squan-
dering his energy in unnecessary
movements. At the end of the day he
is fatisued out of all proportion to
the work done. We often hear a man
who makes n great commotion about
his job spoken of approvingly as a
hustler But the average hustler
never outSrows taking orders from
some more quiet fellow seated at a
desk in the main office. Most great
executives are lazy. 1t is logical that
they should be. A good executive is
one who never does anything that he
can get anybody else to do for him.
