We have outgrown the "m,le of
thumb" There are, We fancy. few SO
conseIvatively welded to tradition that
they will not concede the value of
scientific methods in business. That
means, OF course, not the I'M lection Of
cxtraneous science into business affairs
but the development within business
itself of science of its own. For the
promotion of such development the
present volume has been written, and
it should be highly effective to that end
1t is in essence an elaborated study
of the life work of the late Frederick
Winslow Taylor. who was at once
man Of science and d man Of practical
business affairs; an admirable com
bination, not as common as we could
wish. But, in addition. it reviews the
whole history of scientific manage
ment and the practical experience of
great number and variety of indus
trial concerns which have adopted Mr..
Taylor's system or some other 1t.orm of
scientific administration. A uniquely
copious photography, we'll classified,

which should be of interest cnd profit
