H E N President Taft was the guest of the New York Press Club last week, he was much
affected when the club song, "Then Scatter Seeds of Kindness," was rendered.
And, after all, why should we not all endeavor to scatter seeds of kindness for the
reaping bye and bye?
There is not half the enmity existing between men which some are prone to believe and half of
the attacks which are made even upon politicians are made without serious intent on the part of the writer
of offensive articles.
They are passing whims—there is no real feeling behind them. I may say that they are forgotten
by the man who penned the lines long before they have passed out of the memory of the man whose pur-
pose or principles was the object of the attack.
Yes, indeed! The world is getting better—we see it in every division of life.
There is an obvious desire to run business on cleaner, better and broader lines, and it is apparent
that employers are taking a greater interest than ever before in the welfare of those who are associated
with them.
There is a strong vein of sympathy running from man to man.
A good employer is a man who never allows his stock of sympathy to run low.
Sympathy is nothing more than the ability to place yourself in the other fellow's place. With it
the employer stands at the elbow of every worker in the place at the same time.
Appreciation is the foundation upon which hearty co-operation rests.
Co-operation means efficiency and in the end profits.
Sympathy is the only thing which can smooth the rough spots in the patli that the worker has to
travel.
•
A good boss is a man who can get rid of the idea that he is doing a favor for the man to whom he
gives a job.
Specifically a good employer is a man with heart enough to admit that his prosperity is not wholly
a thing of his own making and with sense enough to put that admission into such form that it will bind
his workers closely to him.
Such an employer will go about speaking words of commendation whenever there is an opportun-
ity to do so.
Such an employer will realize that workmen are human, for they are as eager as he to feel that they
are of some importance in the running of the business house.
Sympathy!
Yes—the more that is encouraged the farther away we will get from all kinds of social disorders.
It will pay us all, whether employer or employe, to scatter seeds of kindness for there is a reaping
time coming.

No man can work his best unless his heart is in his work, and no man's heart is in his work that is
not appreciated.
