Employ of the government has de-

Many a man stays' in a Job when
he might with little trodble get a
better simply because the surround

work suit him. In, other words, he
is influenced by sentimental' consid

cessions made to him individually
and other things that may superfici-
ally appear inessential but really are
vitally important, sway him. Some
men actually leave well paid places
for others at less remuneration sim
ply to secure conditions that fit in
with their personality.
To take this attitude however, re
quires a degree of freedom from fin
ancial shackles of life that not all
possess. It is always a question if
a man with children has the moral
right ).o sacrifice the dollars that will
buy larger opportunities for them in
exchange for the things that minister
to his personal desires and conveni
ence. Some would figure that by re
fusing increased sulary they were
juggling with the futures of those do
pendent on them.
