OF getting the big job and the big ex-
ecutive together are very deficient.
We need a War Industry Personnel
Board, whose business it would be to
comb the country for able managers
and have them in reserve for the Jobs.
The government hasn't got to that
stage yet, but il has set out to train
industrial relations managers for plants
having government contracts, the idea
being that most employers are not far
enough advanced in sociological studies
to realize The Importance Of having
some systematic cultivation of good re-
lations with their men.

pose viii open at the University Of

A h.eh o#sc.al OF the Shipping Board
said the other day that it IS impossi-
bic to enlarge the present number of

perin.eudents and foremen cannot be
found for them.
Undoubtedly q large part Of the dif

the Aircraft Board is due to the lack
Of executive ability both in the gov

Labor leaders maintain that much Of
tie friction between men and employ

also much Of the sponsibility for the
low individual output that is one of
the worries OF the war

There IS a growing tendency to make
engineers into executives because OF
their thorough knowledge of their bust
ness, but it is also being found that
the same natural ability that gives the
engineer a thorough understanding
often units him to be q good manager.
Managers, like poets, are born, not
made. You have TO find them. Some
times you have to wait while they grow

for peace times, but we cant find

New Service Section

The army ordnance department has
established an industrial service sec
tion and is seeking to educate en-
ployes to modern methods of human
management. The Emergency Fleet Cor
poratlon has been doing the same thing
for many months. 1t is reported that
some manufacturers do not take very
kindly to the ordnance departments s
programme, holding that this section,
like so many other government bodies
these days, is entirely made up Of col
Iege> professors, theorists and doctrin-
naires with. notable absence of prac-
teal and experienced business men
However. this new government ac-
tivity is very interesting departure.
The government has always inspected
the material that goes into the goods
1T buys Now it goes & step further
and proposes to see that the labor IS
as good as the material. One way to
make labor coed is to give it the right
kind Of treatment. Hence the employ

There is the same striking movement

noticeable. and. like in the Spanish
DANCES, there is frenzy of rhythm and
movement which dies into a slow and

their peculiar civilization have survived
and have been practically unaffected by
the changes that have occurred since the
forty-niners crossed the Apache trail OF

jota, the gallega, the rivierana and the
miunera. In nearly all the hands
keep time with the feet. alternately
raised and lowered. and always there is
the swapping of the fingers, which often
takes the place of Castanets. Strange to
say, the miunera in Spain is danced to
the wall of Celtic bagpipes. to which
distance lends enchantment in the An
dalusian hills. This dance dates very
far back into antiquity. and is one of
the most important and typical of north
