This book is published by private funds _Fellow Citizen_: Vermont's natural resources have been set forth in State publications, not adequately, but nevertheless, in well prepared publications. Supplementing such publications this book deals with our human resources, showing the way by which our greatest resource--human energy--can be most effectively employed. It uses the welfare of man as the yardstick of measure rather than treating the subjects under the head of natural resources. At the present time the productive power of a day's work varies greatly throughout the country. It reaches its highest point where the most efficient implements and machines are used; where there is a high degree of special ability acquired by each executive and workman, such as has been attained in our highly specialized manufacturing industries, many of which may be found in our neighboring states. The upbuilding of such organizations is only in its infancy. There is now a natural drift away from congested cities to adjacent states where plants and homes may be spread out over larger areas. The personal side of this to each man is the supreme need of a better understanding of human economics; that is, he must know the best way to use his own energies, and since he must work in cooperation with others he should also know what constitutes the most effective and successful organization.
