is a desire to rule. He will enjoy
enforcing laws, rules and regulations, and will do this with a degree of
energy and watchfulness which probably results in good work on part of
those under him. He is a fair executive. Under right influence, might
further develop."
Supervisor reports on No. 5: "A capable man, secretive and somewhat
clannish; is susceptible, however, to other influences and can be
developed. A little quick-tempered in handling help; expects too much at
the outset. This man must be removed from the influence of No. 1 or he

Dr. Blackford, on No. 5: "A capable man, secretive in his work; careful,
conservative, and conservatively progressive. He is intelligent and
industrious. He is also ambitious, and has good artistic sense. He is the

leader; very susceptible to further training."
Dr. Blackford, on No. 7: "Highest grade and finest-textured of any of the
foremen yet considered. He is also intelligent, honest, industrious; has
high principles; is careful in his work, and will take very great pride in
