ADVANTAGES TO EMPLOYE.

In summing up Professor Minsterberg
asks his readers not TO forget that the
increase OF industrial efficiency by future
psychological adaptations and by i'm
provement of the psychophysical condi-
tions is not only in the interest of the
employees, but still more OF the employees.
Their working time can be reduced,
he says. their wages increased. their
level of life raised. And. above all, still
more important than the naked com
mercial profit on both sides is the cult
ural gain which will come to the total
economic life of the nation as soon as
every one can be brought to the place
where his best energies may be unfolded
and his greatest personal satisfaction Sc
cured. The economic experimental psy-
chology offers no more inspiring idea
than this adjustment of work and psyche
by which mental dissatisfaction in the
work. mental depression and discourage
ment may be replaced in our social COM
munity by overlooking Joy and perfect in
rer harmony

laborers were now obliged TO operate with
ten different kinds of shovels, each OF
such a size that the burden always re-

for any kind of material The following
step was an exact determination of the
most favorable rapidity and the most per-
feet movement of shovelling, the best dis
tribution of pauses. and so on, and the
final outcome was that only 40 men were
needed where, on the basis of the old
plan, 800 laborers had been engaged The
average workman. who had previously
shovelled sixteen tons of material. now
managed ifty-nine tons without greater
fatigue. The wages were raised by two
thirds and the expenses of shovelling a
