TAYLOR SYSTEM NOT
LIKED BY WORKMEN

So much has been said and written
about efficiency that many people who
have not read between the lines have
taken it for granted that by the appli-
cation OF, a system whereby the work
ers' productivity and earning power is
increased must be good thing for the
worker, industry and society.
1t goes without saying that if this
was all to be considered in any eff
cheney plan, everything would be as
represented, and we would, be sur
rounded by conditions which would be
ideal, or nearly SO, but after carefully
Investigating all of the plans so far
proposed we are. convinced they are
fine for all who are not forced to work
under them. ~. =,
Mr.: Frederick W:<Taylor of Phila-
delphia, is the leading,exponent of the
efficiency idea and his handbook for
manufacturers on this subject is con-
sfdered by many: as an authority, it
being quoted; very frequently, but we
have yet to see any great publicity
being given to-; The E, following para
graph: 80 :

cally the same d1ass 81 work should

tuted in their Places g

Of efficiency, and If anything more
cruel has even been devised to drive
the human machine to it's limit we
have ihever heard of it.: = In fact, the
thought that it is; human beings who
are subjected to this refined cruelty
does not seem to have been considered
by the gentlemn who xpect the work
ers to receive them and their plans
with open arms and songs of praise.

.MEX1CO's HOPE OF DEMOCRACY.

regard Mexico Latn-American nation, and for
this despair of her, and find examples of
fairly stable democratic government under Latin Amer
can domination in Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
Lecky, the historian had in mind the danger of
ing snap judgment of alien people when wrote:
"Invectives against nations and classes usually
shallow The original basis of national character differs
much less than is supposed The character of large

in which thehae been placed: the laws by which they

So far ass Mexico is concerned, have much to
learn. Fewer than a million of her Is 100000 people
are Of Caucasian stock Half of the remainder or
100000, of pure Indian blood, the descendants
of the peoples who highly civilized Span

SERVILEL LABOR IS
MENACE TO LABOR

- The idea has been expressed many
times by employers that, the efforts of
trade unions to shorten hours and in
crease wages are barriers to progress
in a community, but such an idea can
not be successfully maintained unless
a. very narrow and unreasonable de-
finition is given the word. IF progress
is simply held to be population-and
that notion prevails in the minds OF
many employers-then China is the
most progressive country in the world.
Trade unionists do. not believe that
great masses of people, regardless of
their character, denote progress nor
do they believe that the addition of
cheap, unintelligent, servile 1aborers
add to the progress or welfare OF a
people.
Trade unionists have been taught
by: stern experience that constant toll
units a man for valuable productive
labor and that the man who works
long hours, like the rubber which is
always stretched, will not last long;
so that when the union shortens hours
of labor 1T becomes an instrument for
thep rogress and Improvement Of, the
entire community, even in point of.
population, rather than a hindra1ce to
it, as some employers seem to believe.
The fact that: constant :toil,, Ikea

D|CKERSON RECITAL
Assisted by Mr.. Cyril Davis
with Violin
RENDITION CLASSICAL MUSIC
Recital Received with Enthusiasm
by Public

On Friday evening, November 9Th,
Mr.. Hugh Dickerson, pianist, assisted
by Mr.. Cyril Davis, violinist, gave a
recital in the College chapel. Mr..
Dickerson convinced his audience, be-
fore the conclusion Of his first num-
Der, that he was an unusual techni-
clan, and masterful interpreter of
piano music.
His program consisted of three
groups, each made up of four selec-
tions. The second group was four
numbers by Chopin, the greatest COM
poser of the piano who ever lived. The
entire program was given in fine style.
The numbers deserving especial men,
tion because of the unusually brilliant
technic and fine Interpretation dis
played by Mr.. Dickerson in their rem
dition were the Intermezzo (Brahms)
A Flat Ballade (Chopin), C Minor
Prelude (Chopin), Waldesrauschen
(Liszt), and Rigoletto Paraphrase
(Liszt).
Mr.. Dickerson more than measures
up to one or the planlstS most Sc
we're tests. He is an especially fine in
terpreter of Chopin and Liszt. In his
Chopin selections he played with a
warm, poetic feeling, yet with a manly
Interpretation. Liszt's numbers he
gave with fiery brilliancy and the i'm
aginative reading of the master plan
ist. At the conclusion of the Rigo-
letto Paraphrase he was enthusiast
cally encored.
Mr.. Davis played two groups of
three numbers each. He is always an
artist and Friday evening he surpass-
ed himself. His best played numbers
were the Bach "Air for G String" and
"Perpetuum Mobile" (Bohm). Miss
Roberts assisted Mr.. Davis at the pi-
ano.
The recital was the second number
of the Alma College Concert course.
If the succeeding numbers are as good
as the two already given this will be
the finest musical course ever offered
in Alma.
