I think that large corporations

they act upon profound knoWl-
edge of human nature and nat
1Iral law. Consciously or not,
their founders and managers are
excellent psychologists, physicists
and psychologists. They under
stand practically the workings OF
the mind, the possibilities OF
physical performance, and the
limitations OF the bodily machine.
Whenever that Is SO they do
not demand more of any work
man than normally he should be
able to perform. They know
that even a mere mechanical ap-
paratus requires a certain de-
gree of freedom from interior

They know, too, that a machine
seems to get tired sometimes,

In everything that man does

OF course there may be such q

idlers, there is no good reason. in
my opinion, why employees should

OF time. Mankind is almost In

standard would not apply equally
in these different cases. An aver
age has to be struck; the rapid
worker should not be wearied by
too continuous and long-continued
labor, nor the slow one rendered
ineffective by over-urging.
In some good future time this
whole immense problem, which has
resisted all attempts at solution
through violent revolutionary
methods, will be solved for the
happiness of universal humanity
by the gentler and infinitely more
effective processes OF evolution,
guided by the progress Of knowl-

thought Of their duties, which
now seem to us so homely, was

Dom Byrne has told Of this in

"The professions of the trades
people were like a kings retinue

election Of q doge. Each in their
separate order they'd come, the

queror, with their banners and
their buglers. The furriers next

with olive branches; the quilt

fleur-de-lis; the cloth-of.gold work
ers, with golden crowns set With
pearls; the shoemakers in fin9,

in fustian; the cheese dealers and

terers, armed like men-of-war; TIE

specimens of their art; the comb
