Examination Time IF any of the satellites of the great god, Efficiency, are interested in the matter of schools, they should turn their attention to examination time, At the close of each school year there should be two sets of ex- aminations instead of one. In addition to the examinations conducted by the teachers to sce whether the prescribed lessons have found a secure resting place and taken root, there should aiso be a set of examinations conducted by the children to see what the teachers have learned during the school year. Teachers should be learning more all the time about the hearts and souls znd minds of the children under them. Teachers who fail to progress in this regard or, for some rea- son or other, forget what they already know, should be demoted or otherwise appropriately dealt with, This ques- tion can only be determined by the children themselves.

He may raise wheat or cattle; he may manufacture flour or shoes; he | mayrun a grocery or adrygoods store; he may operate a copper mine or a telephone company. He creates or distributes some commodity to be used by other people. He is always hard at work to sup- ply the needs of others, and in return -| he has his own needs supplied. All of us are doing business with business men so constantly that we accept the benefits of this intercourse without question, as we accept the air Most of us have little to do with government, yet we recog- nize the difference between business methods and government methods. We know that it is to the interest of the business man to do something for us, while the function of the gov- ernment man is to see that we do something for ourselves—that is, to control and regulate. We pay them both, but of the two we naturally find the business man more get-at-able, more human, more democratic. Because the telephone business has become large and extensive, it requires a high type of organization and must employ the best business methods. The Bell System is in the business of selling its commodity—telephone service. It must meet the needs of many millions of customers, and teach them to use and appreciate the service which it has provided. The democratic relation between the customer and the business con- cern has been indispensable, providing for the United States the best and most universal telephone service of any country in the world.
