>muc SCtUtttg #?afep PAMPHLET issued by one of the big insurance companies tells us how to act in emergencies: how to revive a drown ing person; how to bandage a burn; what to do for snake bite. On this last subject there is an introductory sentence which is set in big type for emphasis. It reads: DON'T STOP TO KILL THE SNAKE. The idea contained in that crisp utterance has far-flung appli cations. Whether any specific deed should or should not be done depends not merely upon its character but equally upon the cir cumstances and the time. Years ago I interviewed Dr. John R. Mott, a great leader, and I asked him his rules for selecting executives. "I watch a candidate for a long time before I decide," he answered. "I want to satisfy myself on two points: Does he do small things well? Does he do FIRST things FIRST?" As he spoke I remembered a well intentioned, hard working man who was under my observation at one time. He had a most amazing capacity for doing his work in the wrong order. He was to meet his bpss one day at the Grand Central Station with tickets for Detroit. The boss arrived five minutes before train time an.!, telephoning to the office, foimd the man still at his desk. His excuse was that he was engaged on a plan which he thought midit possibly double the business and he had become so engrossed in it that he had forgotten his watch. The plan might have been all right, though it turned out not to be, but in dealing with it at the wrong time he caused the boss to miss a train and lose an order. He was forever writing memoranda on matters outside his department, while neglecting the routine duties for Which he was paid. He was usually late to the office because he had gone out of his way to make a call which he believed might be of benefit to the company. All of his activities were inspired by a genuine desire to in crease the business and so raise his own earning power. But ho was a nuisance, and was finally fired. I The human race possesses all the information ntcessary for the successful conduct of its affairs. Many of its troubles irise because men fail to make a schedule and arrange their tasks in the order of relative importance. The parade is hold up by perfectly good people stopping to do perfectly ] roper things at cxactly the improper time?letting the inpatient perish while they earnestly kill the snake.
