The La Grande Business iCplloge, which suffered a - total ,lqss ,of its equipment this, morning by fire, is one of the decidedly meritorious in stitutions of this city. Prof. Taylor came here a" couple of years avn and by-hard work and without assistance i-from anyone byildeda school which now attracts pupils from' the entire Wallowa country a well as , Baker and Malheur counties. The institu tion has been one that produced capable office help. Too often busi-1 ness colleges mean notmng am a ve hide for the man in charge to earn a salary. In this stance fhe school has" its pupils at work over the city and they are fnaking good. ' , It is fitting tyoung men and women to earn a livelihood enabling them to fill a place"inUhe world, which is one of the most commendable things any man can do. - , , f .. y t And the college has "shown a re- markable growth for:: the effort of one man., We -hope thatPtof. Taylor will' see his way clear to equip his plant again and continue the school 'for. La Grand needs It. ' ON EMPLOYEJR1 and employe Well-fed clerks are the hobby of Director Ralph of the bureau of en graving and printing. With all the thousands of clerks employed in this department, only once since the be ginning has a shortage or theft been discovered in this money-making fac tory, and the contentment which exist among the employes is said to be the reason. "There is such a thing as recipro cal relationship," says Director Ralph. '"That few employers under atand or lcnpw! how to apply. "Today it is for the enipVyur to give and the employ e( tq take, and . tomorrow for the employe to 'give and the employer to receive to give support and ' encouragement, sym- pathy and honest service.'- To kriow and understand each other is to maintain confidence, as that reaults in mutual interest and develops the highest ideals in service and energy.1' A Director Ralph makes it a point to admonish employes for their faults privately, but ho distributes praise openly, because he. believe. nothing stimulates men )q much 'as tho ap preciation of their employer. Ex- . presalons of ' approval do more to apeed up and make more efficient a body of me nthananytliing else that can be devised, whereas nothing more destroys1 the efficiency of a group of workers than the employment of a , foreman who discriminates between jnen .because of personal favoritism. Employes cannot bo .chosen wisely , by the aid of a yard stick, and ex perience, in Mr. Ralph's Ju,jmen;, Is the thing that demonstrates the worth. He believes in co-operative lunch-rooms; and in al) measures looking" toward the comfort and well being of employes. In this he goes on the theory that the health, com fort and happiness of; employes is Just is essential as keeping machin ery in good repair. He beliees that a man well fed is in better condit. ion to lender good services vnu ... who is in the need of nourishment. Lastly, he says, in his investigation of factory conditions, he has always found that employers knew all about n, nf nower per Kiiowat , but nothing concerning the amount of energy and service produced by 1 T'-,-. . rti.nlil'inD' efficiency Director Ralph wjaely places the, emphasis on contentment; bow pnyjici - tal.
