SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT.

Scientific efficiency Is receiving some
pretty hard knocks of late; but, accord
ing to wise editorial in the New York
Times. the Objectionable features are not
part OF a truly scientific system, in that
they tend to strain and exhaust the
"speeded' workman, and In that condi-
ton his output is less and inferior. For
tunately the employer in his self-nter-
est looks after that side OF the matter In
the case of wage-worlSers. while the
piece-workers learn their safe gait BY OK
perience. as rule There Is story
that the Bank of England discovered that
clerical blundcrs involving serious losses
were generally made after p. m. so
that, as a matter of economy. clerks We're
forbidden to work after that hour Tho
tagged brain or muscle Is unreliable and
It is injured IL goaded to further exer-
ton. Tho true scientific management
stops labor just before exhaustion
reaches the stage Of unrcia bility or I'M
duo slowness. Yet there is "A danger
which neither employer nor employed con-
siders-the danger OF daily or weekly
exhaustion just beyond the powers of re-
pair by recreation and rest. This dcncit
increases until disability results-a mat
ter which does not concern the employee
whose employees are constantly changing,
but Is Is Of vital importance In life posi-
lions where experience Is the real thing
paid for, In the latter case. the EN-
ployer takes measures to preserve the
workers ability, but In the former the
tendency Is to squeeze the mans energy
dry and then hire someone else-.a matter

lines in the steel business ten years Is the

Of individual efficiency. In ancient times
slaves were deliberately underfed In

purcha sed. who were so soon killed by
starvation and overwork. II scientific
engagement does not consider the work
ers future, IT will merely be a modern
form Of the same thing This is the basic
reason for the recent opposition to tho
spurious scientific management which
speeds the worker to get the temporary
energy he can sell for the wages, and It
Is a wholesome opposition as the ultimate
welfare of society is not It's wealth. but
It's citizens. whose disability must be de-
layed. In time the really scientific
methods will come a pure matter of
evolution. It might be said in passing
that scientific management Is now new
but as old as man himself. The whole
course of civilization is a succession OF
new ways OF getting more product out OF
an hours or days labor, The most
efficient ways succeeded and the inventors
became prosperous. Every factory owner
OF q century ago was keen TO take up
suggestions to increase his product with
out increasing the number OF laoorers
and the successful ones survived times o:
stress. The enthusiasm for our last IT.
ventions OF new methods is misplaced az
the question Of strain Is now introduced
and public health is involved.
