ANTI-WORK DISEASE.
“I am afraid that for most of us work, like many other excellent things, is an acquired taste. Love of work is not increasing conspicuously in this •ountry A disease seems to be about similar to that which sent a certain .nan to consult a doctor. ‘I don’t know wlmt’s the matter with me,’ lie. told the medical man, ‘I eat well, sleep well, and feel well, but if you put a bit if work in front of me, I shake like i jelly.’ What we want is a new gospel of work, and a successor to .Carlyle to preach its importance to man is an individual and to the community at large.” Sir Joseph J. Thompson.
