The Reclamation Service

It will, perhaps be admitted by the reclamation officials themselves that costly have been made in the service the way of experimentation but they will welcome tribute to the work of the service by H. T. Cory, who many years a prominent figure in the engineering department of Hartman lines The Engineering News in article the work of the reclamation service quotes a paper by MT. Cory, which mainly prepared in opposition a paper read before the American Society of Civil Engineers advocating the development by the federal govern power sites and the sale of electrical energy MT.

that the hall is not safe place to

Rest and Efficient Work

Scientific men have lately made
some very interesting experiments
to learn how to perform the great
est amount OF work at the highest
point Of efficiency with the small
est amount of fatigue. These ex-
periments prove beyond question
that work that is broken by rest at
short and regular intervals is more
productive, both in quantity and
quality, than steady work, in spite
of the time lost in rest.
The experiments were made with
strong and uriMaginativc male lab
orcrs who were quite unaware Of
the meaning of them. Even in
such unskilled mechanical labor
ns moving heavy bars from one
place to another, the men who
rested at regular intervals moved
more bars in a given time than the
men who worked steadily.
The principles that these expert
ments confitm can be applied to
every kind of work, and by every
type of worker. Everyone knows
that those who work must rest, but
everyone does not realize that rest
should come at very short intervals.
