Deceit--talking friendly to the other back as soon as he turns around. ough to reap a harvest of pay before sowing a crop of honest service. Disloyalty to those who have trusted us. 4 all and no one can teach us anything. Last, but not least, lack of the neces- sary training and education to enable us to stand at the head in our line of work. Look this list over and check yo self by it.
