The Morality of
Being Efficient
Rev. 1. K. Chambers, pastor o,
the M. E. Church herelioticvd tin
der 4he subject ab.ve an articb
from the Continent, f aid to be mu
of the atongest religious paper
published, and he r< quested th<
Liberal to reproduce it that 'h<
men, women, boys and girls o-
South West Georgia might read it
and since the article really con
tains' much suljtct matter or foot
for thought the editress gladly re
produces the article in i's entirety.
“The man not able to pay L>
his keep—.”
Half the economic problems rd
the times enter in this patlutii
and almost tiiihelpable figure.
Deliberate crowding down o
wages by playing < If one group ol
needy workers in competitioi
against ano'het is, of course, tin
most evident reason for underpay
ment of workers, and it is no
Y’dftzo the enormity of ll'in’t" injus
tice. It is human selfishness at it»
meanest.
But fair handling of a’l tin
facts in the case 30011 shows tha'-
employing greed is not the only
reasm why workers are paid ksi
tbaa they can live on. Theothir
reason is the sari prevalence of in
efficiency among the workert
tin mselves.
To the just economic ideal of 1
comfortable livelihood assured t<
every individual member of tin
social order, there stands one baf
fling obstacle in the grim fact
that a multitude of persons ar<
NOT PREPARED to render tin
world any service worth a nveli
bood.
In many minor industries when
pay is confessed') too low, the in
hereof trouble is that the product
which the Libor creates is of too
slight importance to popular needs
for it to stand a higher silling
price In such cases iuc< ased la
bor e Ist would simply end tin 4 in
dustry, and in place of low-paid
Work th.-re w uld be none at ab.
The tame r.-nirk applies to much
‘common labor” elsewhere.
And unhappily, work, rs tliiif
employed are usually incai.abh
of mots skilled service for which
the ma.kst of the world’s necisri
tieu wsiuid return a living wage.
A. c .ticreie example is the ini
dtutry of shelling nuts —notoriou. 1
ly ill paid. Doubtless, there is
eelfish exploitation mixed up
even i.i this situation but the d
termination fact is that users ol ,
nuts will shell the nuts themeelvts
rather than pay a considerable
price to have the work dune by
others. t 1
Inevitably the wage stays at |
bottom.
The condition so illustrated is a
complex question that could hr
commented on in many phases; a.-,
for instance, the deplorable caus' 4 s
of inefficiency in the limited op
portunities of many and ihe evil
habits of some, or perhaps more to
practical point the duly of sue esp
ial employers to provide for work-
ers thus hamp red as generously
and syo.pat helically as resource* -
will by any means allow.
But the purpt s ■ us ref-rritig t<
the sybject here is to point out « t
'bought to which parents am: .
teachers ought to gve cmiscien 1
Hous attention, in view 1 f the trou
de that the inefficient man causes

It is a totally external and large
-5 false rat ng of t rings by which
numan outu 1.1. appraises some oc
nipaiions to be u.ore woitl y of 1
youth’s ambitions than others.
lutelectual professions and bus
iness pursuits arc generally regard
d as somehow more houorabk
than manual occupations, but to
the man whose talents Doti has fit
ted for handwork the diecrimiua
rion is totally unfair. It has mis- I
led many a young uia > from tin
rourse of Iri’e in which he cculd
most usefully and therefore mosi
honorably have “paid for his keep,’’
One Very important deduction
from all this, which the conscien
t.ous young nun or Woman will
quickly see, is that the choice ot
one’s occupation and mannerof liL
in tiie world is by no means whol-1
