Organization is not precisely a new phenomenon. Assyrians were Organizers as well as conquerors. The Persians had their own secrets of effective organization. It may be said safely however that in vast areas of life organization has actually come to its own in the period in which we live, There are individual business enterprises which are as mighty as an empire. And the organization has a completeness and an intricacy which fairly defy description, It covers a vastly larger field than that of which we have spoken in dealing with salesmanship. The typical modern man is caught somewhere in a vast network of organization, He is not like 4 lone horseman in a vast prairie striking a match and feeling a strange sense of isolation as he looks upon its tiny light. Indeed life presses upon him so closely that he is rot at all sure where his own individuality ends and the lives of others begin. There is no doubt much gain in all this, But all this is likely fo be very hard on the individual. It leaves little room for initiative. It has no sky where a sun might shine, and it has no vast and glorious vistas. A good deal of the time the modern man lives in a windowless building. He may be proud of his electric light, But fastened within his heart is a wistful longing for wide spaces, for an experience which escapes from organization and attains to creative liberty and joy.
