Advice to 20th Century Business Juniors. By Phi. Rho. Chi.
(Horace Marshall and Son. 3d.)—To notice this little book in detail would be to attack not a few social and ethical problems. We must be content with Raying generally that this "advice" seems well qualified to produce or preserve the mere; same in corpore sane. "Character is everything," says our author, and there is no counting the things which go to make it or defining the time within which it has to be made. And it is in this all-importance of character—perhaps the point might have been emphasised more than it is—that there is to be found the true explanation of what seems waste of time and vital powers, the round of dreary, spiritually unprofitable labour in which the majority of lives are spent. The labour is naught, but the character which the right doing of it creates is everything.
