Our palaces Of dance are certainly
moving rapidly toward refinement,
not to say culture. One of them
has advertised for IS young ladies
to dance with patrons. Good pay is
promised, while it is assumed that
no perfect gent will take up a lady's
time without slipping her a quarter.
The young ladies must be very real

dition of his hands, or the condition
of his collar, is minimized in the re-
port, as is also the practice of arbi-
trarily classifying applicants for en-
ployment according to any standard
list of types of personalities. On this
subject the report says:
The human mind has been grouped
by some persons interested in employ
ment questions into types that are
presumably mutually exclusive as fol-
lows; The executive type; the detail
type; the promotion type; the account
ing type; the clerical type; the selling
type; the mechanical type, and so on.
These adjectives do describe attri-
butes of the mind, but that people can
be so tagged and labeled fairly is
doubtful. The temptation to label
people is very great, but the science
and art of successful doing it have
not as yet been discovered"

that the States take the responsibility

public employment offices, in which
the Federal, State, and local govern
ments would cooperate, and which
would be administered under a board
made up Of the Secretary of Labor,
the Secretary of Commerce, and the
Secretary of Agriculture, with the as
sistanee of a national advisory board
and local committee representing en-
ployers and employees. Such an adj
ministration, the report says, Ought
to insure beyond the possibility of a
doubt a genuinely non-partisan en-
ployment service"
Opposition To Agencies.
Some other outstanding facts in the
report follow;
Employers are either Indifferent or
suspicious of private employment
agencies as a class, while workers
both organized and unorganized-are
definitely hostile. Most of the en-
ployers interviewed regarded private
agencies as a last resort for getting
workmen.
Organized labor has long been OPP
posed by the private employment bu-
reaus, charging that they are used
as strike-breaking agencies, that they
favor the employer, and that their sole
purpose is to exploit the worker.
Southern States, in an effort to re-
strict the emigration of Negro labor
to the North, are through legislation
and license fees making it increasing
ly difficult, and in some States impos-
sible, for private agencies to send
workers out of the State.
People Favor Public Service
The use of newspaper want adver-
tisement columns as a means of secur-
ing employees has become practically
universal, but the advantage of this
method are almost wholly on the side
of the employer.
Public sentiment favorable to a pub
lie employment service has been in
creasing for 20 years or more, the
two most important reasons for this
sentiment being that the belief that an
efficient public employment service
will tend to eliminate the abuse of
private fee-charging agencies and
that it will reduce the evil of unem-
ployment.
The report traces the history of our
experience with municipal, State, and
Federal administrations of public en-
ployment Offices, and finds that the
evidence is strongly in favor of MAX
