MILLER'S IDEA OF JUST TREATMENT To do the right thing, at the right time, in the right way; to do some things better than they were ever done before; to eliminate errors; to know both sides of the question; to be cour teous; to be an example; to work for the love of work; to anticipate require ments; to develope resources; to recog nize no impediments, to master circum stances, to act from reason rather than rule, to be satisfied with nothing short of perfection.
