When does Spring begin? Whenever

pear, its flowers burst bonds and bloom
In fact the alder is in most years far In

robin, bluebird, or wren. The alder, like

spite of raw, early winds.
The alder flower is not possessed of
petals or sepals. and lacking these snowy
floral envelopes IL is not easily recog-
MID as a flower at all. The essential
reproductive organs are present. and
that is all. The female flowers are found
in little short fat clusters that are US

about the business of turning into little
hard woody cones. But the male flowers,
hanging out their taSsels that at first

YOU are about as poor q salesman as
they make them Ga bad egg you still
have the chance OF job. Your job Is to
find q salesmanager who thinks we'll of
YOU. and you have about one chance in
a dozen of finding him. II you belong to
the great middle class OF fair statesmen
but good enough, you have somewhat
less than a f1fty-fifty chance OF getting
a Job II there Is strong competition. The
rest depends upon your luck, or how
well you can impress your good qualities
on your interviewer.
This doesn't mean that an interview
is worthless or that these salesmanagers
don't know their business. 1t does mean
that there Is a large element OF gamble
in the matter; because managers cannot
be and should not be standardized. This
variation is always true of judgments
In life that involve many complex fac
tors-the many different ones Of your
own makeup. and the equally different
Judging powers of dozen Judges, with
their differences In makeup
It isn't strange that they don't easily
get together on the results. It's like
measuring a post which shrinks and
stretches with yardstick that has the
same trick. The moral for the appli-
cants is. don't get discouraged: for the
manager, compare yourself with other
managers and check up. Follow up your
appointments and see how far they
make good or how far those whom you
rejected made good elsewhere.

of the tests there recorded.
Many question the value OF the inter-
view method as sizing up applicants Tor
q lob, because those who are supposed
to be experts at it differ so widely
among themselves. Interviewing Is
certainly better than leaving 1t to
chance, but how much better? The
trouble is that each employment man
ager checks up. If at all. only on his
own appointments; he doesn't kno"
how the other managers would have
rated the same candidates. Twelve
.Salesmanagers were persuaded to inter-
view 81 candidates for position as
salesman. each using whatever methcds
he liked for conducting the examina-
ton, and each arranging the ! en- IN
the order of preference, from No. ] Tor
the best man to No. ST for the worst,
Remember that those Judges were
men whose Job 1t was to interview ap-
phcantS: they were used to hiring and

in one case the man rated as No.
Nv one HldilHNGI anu 40 W. q 'PS Oh
other was placed as low as No, So by
third Judge and rs No. 81. or the very
bottom of the list, by a fourth judge.
The ratings of these 81 men resulted In
the familiar 81 varieties of Judgment.
If we divide the ratings as they grade
eggs, and call the class Of excellent men
grade A, call the next group of gooi
men class b. the third class Cf tair rnen
grade C. the fourth of poor mer grade
d and the fifth of no good AT all men
as grade f, then we find only one man
in ten who got eight AS. three Bs and
one c as his rating BY this jury of IL
experts. He was never rated below c.
He is the top man of the list about
whom they agree best. There was no
question about his getting job.
Not so the worst man on the list. He
would have found only one of the
twelve managers to give him an A,
two to give him a B; none happened
10 give him c. but flve put him
down as d man and four as an
Z man. So even this worst man might
have gotten a Job, though most man.
ayers would turn him down. Hence for
the average man che matter of getting
a Job seems TO depend mainly on the
kind of manager TO whom he happens
TO apply.
