Employees who are working for banks are being watched every day to see if they are going to develop into men of character and capacity. Every day's task is made the basis for judging the individual. Every day is a judgment day. Managers of banks see what takes place but seldom remark about it. The beginner in banking must not make the mistake of believing that his work is unimportant. It is well that a messenger be reminded of the fact that the banks in many large cities use old men for messengers, and that in country banks it is often the president or cashier who performs such work. The importance of the work must not be judged by the amount of the salary. The salary is small because the beginner knows so little about his work. As soon as he is prepared for advancement his salary is increased. The individual who deserves and secures advancement must meet many requirements, but the more important are (a) honesty, (b) team play, and (c) development of individual capacity.
