“In the discharge of the duties of the office of President of the United States there is one rule of action more important than all others (writes Mr Calvin Coolidge, ex-President, in the “American Magazine”). It consists in never doing anything that someone else can de for you. Like many good rules, it is proven by its exceptions. But it indicates a course that should be very strictly followed in order to prevent being so entirely devoted to trifling details that there wil.' be little opportunity to give the necessary consideration to policies of larger importance. Like some other rules, this one has an important corollary which must be carefully observed in order to secure success. It is not sufficient to entrust details to someone else. They must he entrusted to someone who is competent.”
