Sometime It la wise to begin at the top, mnti omatlmea In the middle and always where the soil Ic worth the seed. In speaking of thfs matter recently a man of wide busN nets experience said: "There lsa big field waiting for reformers. It Is not amting the so-called lower classes, where so much reform effort Is spent, and where a good deal of tt Is no doubt wasted. It Is among the people who are represented by the 'average employe' In our great mercantile and Industrial In stitutions. It is a sad fact that enly a very small percentage of thess people sre really In earnest that Is, are really try ing to do their best." "What per cent would you say?" t asked. Net ever five per cent," he replied. "I really think that would be a high estimate." "Oh, you can't mean thatl" I exclaimed. "Yes I do," he asserted. "It may vary a little In differ ent establishments, and In different kinds of work, but in general that Is Just about where the matter stands. My ob servations are wide, and cover a period of twenty years. Something should be done to turn back the tide of Indiffer ence and shlftlessness which spreads through this class of employes In nearly every business establishment." CepjrlBfct,l07,by Jottph B.
