Like Scientific Management

John e. X. Powell. the statistician
of Savannah, was discussing the new
fad of scientific management.

CUFF. Men write scientific management
encyclopedias to tell you-what? Why.
just to tell you that the right way to
manage your business is to manage it
the right way.
These scientific management freaks
remind me of a freak teacher Of my
boyhood
"'Give the date OF the battle of
Waterloo he said to me one morning.
"I forget it, l answered, after
couple OF minutes thought.
" You should study these dates said
my teacher, so as never to forget them.
Take this battle now. It's very simple.
Remember the IL apostles. Add half
their number to them. That makes
18. Multiply by 100, that makes
1900 Go back to the IL apostles again.
Take sixth of their number and add
a twelfth to it. it gives you total OF
15. And there we have it-1S15-the
