EFFICIENT ORGANIZATION
An example of how a great organ
ization is made effective by th*- firm
stand of the* man at tin ln lm is found
in tin work of President Poster ot

IP demands that prominent and ac
tive business men go to the hat and
play lair hall with capital and labor,
never losing sight of the fact that
without adherence to law and order
soc iety goes into chaos.
In a recent statement he hit tIn
nail on the* head “So many men who
might make* themselves worth while
influences fail to realize their own ob
ligations. They are prone to look
upon commercial organizations as
things apart from them < h«
They entirely overlook tin fact that
those who give themselve s up for sen
n in and through such organizations
arc* ordinan human beings like them
selves.
Such organizations arc instruments
of value only to the degree that they
represent tin* affirmative attitude* and
influence- of tin* individuals who com
pose them.
'I'ln* fact remains that only under
good leadership does the organization
become a power and contribute to the
enlightenment of tin- community upon
matters of general practical advan
tage.
