WORKING TO MUSIC
NEW IDEA IN INDUSTRY,
One of the most practical of modern discoveries is that everyone is improved in every! way by a cheerful mind. Tt has long been admitted as regards health, but now happines is recognised as a fine helper in work. First, someone thought there might bo some good in cluising away heavy feeling by letting men smoke, even at work, if the work 'allowed it, and' if they longed for a smoke. And it was found to answer.
Thon it was remembered that music Is a great en.livoner, so why not have a musical accompaniment to work—perhaps only a gramophone or perhaps a band? And they* say that answers well, several London firms having installed gramophones in tho workrooms of their factories.
But tho real explanation is that the cultivation of a happy mind, whether by means of a band or by moans of hopefill thoughts without a band, is the finest of all stimulants. ft braces tho whole being.
