how fast the worker is capable of learning, and, at the same time,
the worker, the teacher and the managers can see in how far the
foreman is capable of instructing.

FINAL OUTCOME BENEFICIAL TO MANAGERS AND MEN.--Through
measurement in Scientific Management, managers acquire--

1. ability to select men, methods, equipment, etc.;
2. ability to assign men to the work which they should do, to
prescribe the method which they shall use, and to reward
them for their output suitably;
3. ability to predict. On this ability to predict rests the
possibility of making calendars, chronological charts and
schedules, and of planning determining sequence of events, etc.,
which will be discussed at length later.

Ability to predict allows the managers to state "premature
truths," which the records show to be truths when the work has
been done.

It must not be forgotten that the managers are enabled not only
to predict what the men, equipment, machinery, etc., will do, but
what they can do themselves.

THE EFFECT ON THE MEN IS THAT THE WORKER CO-OPERATES.--1. The
worker's interest is held. The men know that the methods they are
using are the best. The exact measurements of efficiency of the
learner,--and under Scientific Management a man never ceases to be a
learner,--give him a continued interest in his work. It is
impossible to hold the attention of the intelligent worker to a
method or process that he does not believe to> be the most efficient
and least wasteful.

Motion study and time study are the most efficient measuring
device of the relative qualities of differing methods. They furnish
definite and exact proof to the worker as to the excellence of the
method that he is told to use. When he is convinced, lack of
interest due to his doubts and dissatisfaction is removed.

2. The worker's judgment is appealed to. The method that he uses
is the outcome of cooeperation between him and the management. His
own judgment assures him that it is the best, up to that time, that
they, working together, have been able to discover.

3. The worker's reasoning powers are developed. Continuous
judging of records of efficiency develops high class, well developed
reasoning powers.

4. The worker fits his task, therefore there is no need of
adjustment, and his attitude toward his work is right.

5. There is elimination of soldiering, both natural and
