Part 4 (1/2)

A faster pace will not be advocated, for the present gait is overstrenuous We hope, however, to point out a way by which good results may be obtained with, moderate effort

If, in the past, the brain has been found wanting, we should not lose confidence in its reliability until we have seen how it has been ed

Under some conditions its interpretations are absolutely correct; in fact, under all conditions that would be called fair in testing other kinds of mechanism

Unfortunately, these conditions have not always existed Opinions regarding important matters have been formed when accurate mentation has been impossible

Physical Condition of Worker

If the use of the machine induces either an adverse mental attitude or physical condition of the worker, it will sooner or later be adverse to the economic success of the machine

We have indicated soested the well-known method of mental control for this purpose A keen observer of men and machinery may not require as much of the so-called practical experience; another may need many years of actual work

The practical experience in the various departments of machine construction, its sale and its use, is undoubtedly ale ive an opportunity to see things in actual operation The shop affords an opportunity to see how a machine stands up to its work, where it is weak, and a thousand and one points that can best be seen in actual operation But there is still another phase that is comprehended more readily by the practical experience, and this applies to the various departe of the men and their mental make-up and attitude

A keen observer soon realizes that successful life in the ood understanding of others in the field

Capacity for New Ideas

The assie of the progress which should be indulged in This capacity to take in new ideas and to work by new s, and it is not the saanizations There are ways by which it estible if presented by enthusiastic advocates, as this stimulates an interest Any atteestion

We have said that all changes should be of the digestible kind, and the feeding process should not be a stuffing process; that the ingestion should not exceed the digestion We have also briefly estion tuned up to the best speed by having the organization in a condition to es

That we ht and habit in all , but the exact amount to be allowed is very difficult to estiree hich a s hoe of receptivity should include the thought and action of men all the way from the unskilled worker to the directors, and also that of all anization

Just as food is reeable to the palate, so this receptivity or assi new ideas and reeable forht and habit reat efficiency of specialization more comprehensible

It is this human side that is the key, and if we do not act in full accord with it ill probably be working against a great handicap

The inertia works tays It hurts a progressive man just as much to be tied to a work that requires no brainwork as it hurts a sleepy ressive talk

Money not the Only Dividend

The ement that should be known to the inventor are those which have been adopted to make the business pay Not necessarily to pay in dollars and cents today, but to pay in every sense, and in the long run, in dollars and in other things
