DIRECTOR OF NAVY YARDS
10 SuPERNISE MOB

WASHINGTON, December Sec
rotary Meyer has created the new Of
fee of the director of the navy yards,
and announced today the appointment
of Rear Admiral A. B. Willis as d.
rector. Captain e. Thesis will be his
assistant. These officers were sent
to England by Secretary Meyer re-
Gently to study the details of the Vic
kers system of scientific management
which the Secretary decided to use in
preference to the Taylor system.
The duties of the new officers will
be to unity and improve the methods
in all the navy yards, keep track of
the cost of work and present the needs
of the navy yards to the department.
The director of navy yards will have
no executive authority, but will be
merely an advisory officer.
