In this Number / Does team work pay in big business? "Yes!” says John Ringling The biggest business man in America can learn something from John Ringling, one of the famous brothers who own the three big shows—RingHng’ Brothers, Bamum & Bailey, and Forepaugh-Sells. It's the biggest kind of business, representing an investment of millions, and patronized by millions of people. Could you run it ? How would you like to move your whole business night after night from one town to another? How would you like to handle armies of temperamental star performers and great Creeps of workers— advertise them, provide their rations and their-quarters, and transport them all over the country? John Ringling himself, who with brothers Alfred and Charles, started life in a boy concert troupe, tells modestly how they do it. By sticking together, they make you stick to the big show. They know your likes and dislikes even better than you do. “Will the automobile ever drive the horse away from the circus?” - “It will not”, $ays Ringling. “What is the main attraction ?” ‘TPretty ladies on white horses”, says America’s master showman. Can you remember names? and attach the right one to the right face? Wallace Irwin, the popular humorist, cannot. He calls it a fatal defect. Irwin has experienced the nightmare of introducing Lord Northcliffe as “Lord Southdown”—and he ought to know. His confession makes you laugh and think at the same time. So do the other stories he tells on himself—such as the time he shook hands with General Grant’s coachman, instead of with the Generali Read “Famous Men Who Have Forgotten Me.” What’s a coUege education worth in dollars and cents? The Princeton class of ’01, several years after leaving college, got together and discovered that their average salaries ranged from brokers, at $18,900.00, to teachers, at $1,779.00. Lawyers were ahead of accountants, but behind manufacturers, while everybody else seemed to have it all over the professors and schoolmasters. One of the best American educators. President Hibben of Prin/ eton, has written a remarkable story around these facts. Read it, and ask yourself whether cheap teachers are going to be good for your children. ' r
