Within the last decade, the enor-
nous growth of population, the re-
markabIe increase In facilities for
travel and transport. the unprecedent-
cd expansion of commerce and eoIiEe-
quent extensive distribution, of capital
have revolutionfzed business methods
In the United States.
Since recent years, the commercial
policy of our businessmen was to hold
hast to the old, To admit the minimum
OF the new, and to expand, II II were
possible, some old method already
found fruitful into new growth for the
new need. With the increasing legis-
lative tendency to lower the tariff
wall, thereby restricting protection to
our manufacturers, and the conse-
quent opening up Of new fields of en-
deayor TO the foreign producer, our
merchants have been confronted with
the peremptory necessity of making
radical changes In their administra-
tive policy to meet the new order of
things. Instead of the long-conserved
rule of thumb" method of determin-
ing profits from the standpoint of an
annual inventory, they now recognize
that scientific management has be-
come indispensable, and that the
prime factors of Costs and Efficiency
must be established as the very foun-
dation on which to build their bust
ness structure.

facturers, recognizing the relation that

the medium of their official publica-

There are in this country, as the

The following is clipped from the
San Francisco Chronicle of recent

Editor ChrOnicle-Sir: Reading
your editorial of Thursday, dwelling
upon the extreme vanity, conceit and

struck me-a former great admirer

there are many more; but this one
stands out, so glaringly that even an
ordinary layman, a former worshiper
like myself, could not help falling
over it. (,
In Roosevelt's speech at the Chicago
convention that nominated him, among
many things he said that his reason,
his main reason, for starting the new
party was because both the old par

that such a wise man should not have
discovered the wfcksdness of the old

have forced our businessmen to real
ize that an increase in advertising
and selling expense does not, for all
time, increase business in direct pro-
portion to the increase in expense. TO
meet this contingency, the science OF
costs has been evolved, the cardinal
principles of which may be briefly
summarized, as follows: Cost, more
than selling price, fixes profits. The
public not only fixes the price it will
pay but determines the minimum of
product they will accept for that
price. Hence, as a natural sequence,
scientific management is being devel-
oped along. conservative lines to find

also preseribes a standard regula-
ton for efficiency of both men and

The eastern manufacturers have
long since recognized the Importance
of such scientific business control,
and are adopting every means to per-
feet their organization to meet grow

efficiency have they attained in this
