'Good Enough' Is Not Good Enough “Good enough” — an attitude too often accepted these days in schools, in government, and in industry — has resulted in lack of pride and a scarcity of quality workmanship. (How long has it been since you were really satisfied with a service performed for your family?) Some say the mediocre is becoming the rule, the average, accept able; and “good enough,” the standard. But competition, the yardstick of worth, still demands the best in a person. The man and the company who succeed in today’s vigorous world market competition must be dissatisfied with just “good enough. Today’s methods and equipment will not be good enough in tomor row’s markets. Recognizing the need for excellence, for constant im provement — being dissatisfied with anything but the best — is the key to success. Use it — or someone else will. And those who do won’t have to learn the hard way that ultimate failure is the result of just “good enough” work. “Good enough” is simply not good enough. W. J. Garrett Promoted To Superintendent ■- .. . WILLIAM J. GARRETT William J.
