SPCED VS. QUALITY.
Nutcr t'oiiililrr Kmt-Dnlnc of tor Im.
IMtrtMlire Tlisn M'rlt.lltiliiv.
Many persona seem to think that
spoisl lu work Is a higher accomplish
ment than utiality of work. If sikhsI Is
of tho tint Importance, then It may bo
an apology for jsor quality. If quality
, Is of tho llrst itnsrtatire, then It may
I lie an nMlogy for want of eist. One
! says: "1 want to lenru to wrlto fait."
Another says: "I write this very
hiirrlisllyi please, excuse nrasunis."
' Would such writers or workersrather
, bo thought quick than accurate? Do
they place the writing abovo the writ-
ten? Kven a shorthand writer ought
net to write faster than he can write
well. Spoisl follows quality; quality
never follow spent. It Is a good thing
to do gtHsl work fast. Hut It Is a bid
thing to do fast work badly and that Is
the way It generally Is done when tho
Ustslolng Is held abovo tho woll-dolng.
Had work had ls'tler Ui dono so slowly
that It never gets dene at all. Tlie only
w ay to attain to high spoisl Is to work for
something better than speed. S, S.
