er Military Management, there is practically no limit to this power, the management being satisfied if the foreman gets the work out of the men, and the men having practically no one to appeal to, and being obliged to receive their punishment always from the hands of a prejudiced party. LITTLE POSSIBILITY OF DEVELOPMENT OF WILL.--Being under such influence as this, there is little or no possibility of the development of an intelligent will. The "will to do" becomes stunted, unless the pay is large enough to lead the man to be willing to undergo abuses in order to get the money. There is nothing, moreover, in the aspect of the management itself to lead the man to have a feeling of confidence either in himself, or in the management, and to have that moral poise which will make him wish to advance. REAL CAPACITY NOT INCREASED.--With the likelihood of suspicion, hate and jealousy arising, and with constant preparations for conflict, of which the average union and employers' association is the embodiment, naturally, real capacity is not increased, but is rather decreased, under this form of management, and we may ascribe this to three faults: First, to lack of recognition of individuality,--men are handled mostly as gangs, and personality is sunk. Second, to lack of standardization, and to lack of time study, that fundamental of all standardization, which leads to absolute inability to make a measured, and therefore scientific judgment, and Third, to the lack of teaching; to the lack of all constructiveness. These three lacks, then, constitute a strong reason why Traditional Management does not add to the welfare of the men. LITTLE SYSTEMATIZED WELFARE WORK UNDER TRADITIONAL MANAGEMENT.--As for welfare work,--that is, work which the employers themselves plan to benefit the men, if under such work be included timely impulses of the management for the men, and the carrying of these out in a more or less systematic way, it will be true to say that such welfare work has existed in all times, and under all forms of management. The kind-hearted man will show his kind heart wherever he is, but it is likewise true to say that little systematic beneficial work is done under what we have defined as Traditional Management. DEFINITE STATEMENTS AS TO WELFARE UNDER TRANSITORY MANAGEMENT DIFFICULT TO MAKE.--It is almost impossible to give any statement as to the general welfare of workers
