WILMETTE LIFE April 19, 1929 he was a minister, in debt, wi-th a familv to ·:;upport. At . thirty-nine he was a· millionaire. Mr. Burnette tells Mr. Clark how he personally solved the problem of success-a story many men have told . ... but he tells it in so vital a way th(;lt n~ one can r.ead it without being a httle more mtercsted, a little more successful in whatever he it,) doing. I,n a chapter ·entitled, A Decalogue of Leadership, Mr. Burnette lays down ten rules of leadershi_P. among which are: The leader w1ll never permit insubordination; When men deserve praise, the leader · will praise them publicly; when they rleserve censure, he will go after them in nrivate · the leader will never "play favorit~s." Thi·:; chapter with rule s has been compiled in a small ho oklet, so valuable has it been proved. Comment on Current Books · ROCKBOUND. By Frank Parker Day. Doubleday, Doran. Mr. Day gives u·:; here an hot~est, rugged novel of fishermen on the islands off the coast of Maine. Rockwood is the name of the island where the Jungs and the Krauses, two fam!lies ~ho between them own the small1sh· ·::;land, are perpetually at each othe_r s throa~s. ~h~ central figure, Dav1d J ung, 1s a d1stmct success, and all ~he lesser characters are sharply outlmed. Th.ese people are alway3 re~,, ahv~ys specifically prod~cts of the.1r ~nvtronm~nt. That environment w11l 1mpres~ 1ts~lf upon the. reader .and stay w1th ~1m for a considerable t:me. The sea 1s fierce, ben.eficent, u seful~ ever present, ever vanable; but Mr. Day neither ·:;entimentalizes nor rhap'iOdizes. All in all, "Rockbound" is e\:cellent narrative, set against an impressive background.
