 Some organizations use up so much energy and time maintaining a feeling ! to work for the object for which the organization was created. The organi- zatiOn is seeondary to the object. l T pity the poor fellow who is so soft and flabby that he must always have an atmosphere of good feeling around him before he can do his work There are such men. And in- the end. unless they obtain enough mental and moral hardness to lift them out of their soft reliance. on feeling they are failures. Not only are they business | failures, they are character failures also;Sit is as if their bones never at tained sufficient degree of hardness to enable them to stand on their own feet.
 There is altogether too much reli- ance on good feeling in our business or ganizatiens., People have too great fondness for working with the people they like. In the end it spells good many valuable qualities.
 And taking all this out of the shop and into the broader fields, it is not necessary for the rich to love the poor or the poor to love the rich. It is not necessary for the employer to, love the employe or for the employe to love the employer. What is necessary is that each should try to do justice to the other according to his deserts. ''It will never be possible to put up- holstered ease into work. No work is needlessly hard. It can be frightened By proper management. Every device should be employed to leave a man free to do a mans work. Flesh and blood should not be made to bear burdens that steel can bear. But even when the best is done, work still remains work, and any man who puts himself into his job will feel that it is work.
 And there cannot be much picking and choosing.p
