"tEffleleiicy engineering" Is the
Cnn whlvh hag been invented to de
scribe the sclum-e by which the great
cat amount of productive effort is se
evred from the Individual workman.
8on of the labor leaders have Jump
ed: at the wrongful conclusion that
because the system helps the employ
r it injures the workman. The real
Ckct is that it helps both.
Tt work
sao under the new system
puts
brains into his labor. 'Thus he takes
.snore interest and as his Interest In
crease his effclency increases. "Ef

It Is probable thatf the efficiency

vent a more reliable and ellllcacloua
devtre for accomplishing this end
than the old-fashioned vacation. The

It is more than ever appealing, de

Wills it was left with no qualms, and

It is likely- that the future will see
aa increased realization of the dol
