DURHAM PROGRESS DURING
THE DEPRESSION IS BASED
ON SCIENTIFIC METHODS

one wants TO conduct an enterprise
on tile slae or safely, the rules must
be observed, no matter how much
1t hurts, and IL is the best rules IN
modern business that the North Gar
olina Mutual observes.
Specific instances Of progress may
be mentioned One is the new tram
ing school Tor insurance manage
winch is now III its third year. This
method brings TO the home office i
certain NUMBER OF the company dis
tricL managers al stated pefleas, and
there trained instructor goes over
the problems Of the organization
from the home office point 81 view,
which enables the field force to give
grealel cooperation III getting Il
higher type Of insurance risk.
Then there is the new departure
in establishing an Actuarial Office III
the organization. This post went GO
A. 4. Spaulding, who has had un-.
usually fine training for the job. By
studying company records over Il
period of years, much duplication Of
effort, much Improbable business,
and niue hof the less essential aeti-
witty has been eliminated
coordinated Effort
The work of Mr. SpauldiAg in
coordinating the claims eases With
the reduction at mortality id the
wedding out of certain types Of ap-
/ plications, and the coofdinating ef
management problems such as the
proportionate costs Of overhead items
with the actual return from the
| operating expense, Is SAVING the
company thousands Of dollars each
year.
Then there is the matter of the
budget. The Office Of Comptroller
was created last year with The idea
Of keeping central control over ex
penditures in all departments, and
affording an easier method of re-
minding various officials when they
/ might be leaning over backward in
one direction or another.
These fundamental phases Of TIC
Mutual operation have given the or
ganization as whole q stronger and
more compact setting IN its field, and
have given greater confidence be-
cause Of exact and expert knowledge
Of just where they stand at all times.

DURHAM, NC. (C) Being the
most widely publicized "big busi--
ness small town in America, and
having achieved an enyiable record
of survival during the depression
years, many people would like to
know just how Durham came through
with colors flying.
10 the Durham executives, and
particularly those Of the North Car
olina Mutual Life Insurance Com
pahy, who are charged with the
responsibility Of conserving, pre-
serving, and promoting the contin-
uous growth Of a five million dollar
concern, this matter Of pulling thro
hard times Is not matter OF genius,
but Of work, and work along intel
ligent lines.
w. j. Kennedy, Jr., vice president
and secretary OF the company, feels
that the Mutual owes its success to
the fact that It's management has
kept abreast Of trends In the busi-
ness world, has noted which way the
wind was blowing and charted then
course accordingly. But it is in the
keeping abreast that the secret
| lies. To do that requires no little
| diligence and industry, no little per-
sonal labor and sacrifice of th,
small pleasures Of life for the SAX,
Of great cause.
The Mutual, for one thing, sub
scribes to various management ser
vices which tell, in cold facts AM
figures, and in cold and impersona
| statements, just what must be don
to achieve a given result. There i
| for instance, the service of the Lift
Office Management Association
which is studied closely, and which
gives the latest and best methods
of keeping life insurance COM
pany's business on safe and soune
managerial basis. Then there arr
other services which show by char
and graphs what ratios and percen
tages must be maintained. and how
various departments and activitie:
must be coordinated in order to ar
rive at a certain goal.
Hard TO Live by Rules
Mr.. Kennedy points out that it i
difficult thing to live by rules
especially when the rules upset SOM
/ of ones own theories of how to ge
the most JOY out of life. But |
