IN the following words on the selection, discipline, training and placing of workers, I shall deal in generalities to a great extent, as I believe we have all gone too far into details in our consideration of the handling of workers in industry. It is now the style to deal in nicely differentiated classifications on all subjects. We talk very scientifically in parlors and pulpits nowadays, and many of us have no hesitation in wandering long distances either way from the decimal point. We must try not to get too far to the east of the decimal point with our first significant figure when we are operating in the human equation. My slight experience leads me to believe in simple ways and manners in dealing with men and women of all social grades, and I find that the workers are not at all different from "home folks" if we treat them as such.
