It reads: "lien lies a mini who knew haw to '' cnliit in h; service better men I ban ; hiimtdf." It is such n bit of originality on ! might huve been expected from the '' quaintly humorous Scotchman an odd combination of modesty und ego tism. And there is in it a good sit mon on business und administration, I or any kind of administration, for , that matter. , To be able to pick out "better men I ' than himself and enlist them loyally In his service is not that the su- premo gift of executive genius? ; No man engaged in a big undertak- ) ' log can do everything himself. If he . "(lies to be It," he is foredoomed to break-down and failure. He muit , i ccossarlly rely for the most part on I others. 'Hie more successful he is, the r.ort of his work he has done by otner men. 11c picks out the riht nxn M-d lets them ''go to it.' 1 "Mr. Cnmegie's young men" h.ive . 1 become proverbial.

Such nn executive can afford to sub merge himself in his organization "lly their fruits ye shall know thrin," in business as in any other form of human activity. The results Bpeak for themselves. When you find n great busine.ii functioning perfectly and succeeding notably, you may l perfectly :uie that somewhere buck of the visible humun machinery is some man and sensible and wise enough to "enlist in his service better men than him self" not nil-round better men, per hnps, but better men for the. purlieu lar work required of them. Revival of the Town Meet ing Plan. The "(awn1 meeting" is to berevlvd in Lawrence, Kansas, its h' part of rltj" commission government. The nmyoi will issue a proclamation setting asiih one evening each mouth for the meet . ing. All chiieim will be expected tt attend, and to come with nn intelli acnl, public-spirited interest iu lh affairs of the city. .The plan is intendisl to do nwnj with the evil of public indiffcrenct lo civic affairs, said to be especially fostered by the commission govern ment system. The town meeting is not new. Ji still exists in some pnrts of ' Ve I'.uglaud, Our forefathers knrw i' well iu the early clays of this conn try's xvttlcmcut. As the populatioi iff n town glow's, the town meet hi f becomes awkward and unwieldy. Thai ie one reason why it has been gn 'lly iihitndoficri. Every citizen otirht he sufficient ly interested in the affairs of his com muntty to follow with thoughtful la tereslcthe work ct city officials, to at .tend council meet ngs occationnllv and to know what his city needs most to insure, its health, safety and gooii govewmvnt. lie should have opm ions and express them at the propel times und places.
