LOST: FIRST JOB
A. D. White, statistician of Swift
A Company, Chicago, has discovered
thnt 90 per cent of the youngsters who
go to work lose their jobs. The five
reasons given for this furnish food for
thought. Incidentally, In them may
also be found the reasons why some
people never get to the point where
tho- cun hold a Job-
The reasons given by White follow:
“Lack of thoroughness Is indicated
most frequently by unwilling-failure
to pet the most Important thing first,
and the expression of a general ‘I
Should worry’ attitude.
E ''Unwillingness to work hard Is
shown hy being late to work, stretch-
ing the lunch hour and stealing a
few minutes nt the end of the day,
watching tlie clock and wasting tlmo
hy social conversations and telephone
Calls during business hours.
“Lack of thoroughness is Indicated
most frequently by -unwillingness ttr
'begin at the bottom and go through
the drudgery of mastering each before

. “The real secret of promotion lies
in constantly doing more than you
I are paid to do. Keep yourself under-
paid. As soon an you are overpaid
you are bound to go backward.

cealinent of mistakes and the constant
