ables, as related to the others, may, in
some way affect his output and his welfare in doing his assigned
work, the importance of taking account of individuality in selection
is apparent.

SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT NEEDS SUPPORT IN STUDYING WORKERS.--The
best of management is by no means at its ultimate stage in practice
in this field. This, not because of a lack in the laws of
management, but because, so far, Scientific Management has not
received proper support from other lines of activity.

PRESENT LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF APPLICANTS.--At present, the men
who apply to the Industries for positions have no scientifically
determined idea of their own capabilities, neither has there been
any effort in the training or experience of most of those who apply
for work for the first time to show them how fit they really are to
do the work which they wish to do.

SUPPLEMENTS DEMANDED BY SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT.--Before the
worker can be scientifically selected so that his individuality can
be appreciated, Scientific Management must be supplemented in
two ways:--

1. By psychological and physiological study of workers under
it. By such study of the effect of various kinds of
standardized work upon the mind and body, standard
requirements for men who desire to do the work can be
made.
2. By scientific study of the worker made before he comes
into the Industries, the results of which shall show his
capabilities and possibilities.[9]

WHENCE THIS HELP MUST COME.--This study must be made

a. In the Vocational Guidance Work.
b. In the Academic Work,

and in both fields psychological and physiological
investigations are called for.

WORK OF VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE BUREAUS.--Vocational Guidance
Bureaus are, at present, doing a wonderful work in their line. This
work divides itself into two parts:

1. Determining the capabilities of the boy, that is, seeing
what he is, by nature and training, best fitted to do.
2. Determining the possibilities of his securing work in the
line where he is best fitted to work, that is, studying
the industrial opportunities that offer, and the "welfare"
of the worker under each, using the word welfare in the
broadest sense, of general wellbeing, mental, physical,
moral and financial.

WORK OF ACADEMIC WORLD.--The Academic World is also, wherever it
is progressive, att
