BRAINS IN INDUSTRY.
-Four years ago Frederic wnslow Taylor published
the FIRST book new science Principles of Sci
entihc MANAGEMENT represented the mature of
eighteen years work in a pioneer field.
He wanted find how men might make thinks
with half the abor-how they might do a days work
half day-how they might produce twice as much
wealth in given time with a given amount of effort
That undertaking of which are just begin
ming the vastness meant if he succeeded, the
doubling output the worlds industries It meant
the creation of a system which could be applied to all
human work
Of The proofs of the greatness of Tayors work
seen in the conference Philadelphia week Of the
Society for the Promotion of the Science of Business
Management
1.-THE efficiency experts, industrial engineers and prac
tcal business assembled there agreed that Tay
Tor had done what he out do-established true
science and that fundamental principles of his sci
entifc management system ARE applicable all kinds
of human activities"
There were representatives present from many ma
tons From Sweden Professor Gedesholm, de
caring that the Taylor system meant the salvation OF
small nations that nations his must exert them
selves to the utmost to the industrial comped
ton with big nations, and that they can do it only
through learning industrial eniciency-whoh he decaF
ed they could learn country but America
The basis of new principles he explained is the nee6

have been comparable those prehistoric animals tina
had huge bodies and small brains Hereafter business
organizations viii require large brains.
From Germany came word that the Taylor ideas are
beginning to take there We think of Germany as
aryellousy efficient: and so she is in respect to or

build their plants and adjust their machinery for the mos
effective results and certainly to reduce all the mo
tons Of workmen the simplest most direct least la
bonous operations.
From France came word that French engineers an'
business men, the most in the world outside OF tn
United States are being converted to the idea that the

methods to speed up the and take all the proh
