If you are an employer of labor, skill

embarrassed by the difficulty of finding
the particular man for the particular
job. This personal problem has always
made miserable the daily life of the

ably it has never been SO pressing as
1t is now The mechanics of modern

beautifully spun methods of efficiency
engineers are so much ink and paper;
the human element in these, as IN
everything, is the essential. How many
office and factory executives, however,
who have elaborated the most detailed
systems for the dead. inert machinery
of their business, have any rational
methods for engaging and discharging
men?
You hired an important department
head today-perhaps a comptroller,
chief accountant: can you give any
reasonable explanation of why you Sc
lected this particular man? Before you
engaged him had you clearly analyzed
in your own mind the precise quan-
fications which he should possess? Ola
YOU take him because he bore letters
of recommendation from a previous
employer-one who, in all likelihood
had "let him OUT? Or did you put MIN
on the payroll because he was
nephew of the president, because the
immediate need of a man was press
ing and some one had to be put 10
work? Were you reasonably sure, when
YOU concluded arrangements, that you
had hit upon the Indispensable man. OF
did YOU merely take your chances
mentally resolving to give him trlar'
and TO let him go after month or Two.

American business man, you propaply
