There AreMany Men and Women
With Their Heads Full of
brains, who do not organize them for use, and there
arc many others lika , who have been
blessed with splendid brains and opportunities, and
who endeavor to organize to use them, but Nfail
because they have no balance wheel.
At the beginning of every year it is the custom
of business organizations the world over to take
account of their operations with an intention to
improve upon past endeavors.
Even intelligent, successful farmers nowadays
take an annual accdunt of stock and machinery.
The profits of 1920 in all kinds of trade, business,
new enterprises, education and administration of
institutions, can be augmented by stopping wastes
(even in housekeeping) and some use of organized
brains, and putting into operation a balance wheel,
without which this business could not exist.
