ABSTRACT
The experience of the trusts has suggested that competition is often wasteful and unscientific, and that organisation to avoid competition may result in cheapening the cost of production of goods. Science may be applied in this broad sense to the organisation of production, so that the new methods of administration and organisation would spread rapidly through a whole industry. The whole community should get the benefits to be obtained from the applications of science to life—not merely those who have the economic power to acquire them. Undoubtedly, by the application of science to life, man would be able, within a comparatively short period, to transform the physical conditions of his existence. Where fatigue study is introduced in the right spirit—the true aim being to lessen the fatigue of the workers and enable them to earn higher wages—it will meet with little opposition from the workers so long as their consent is first obtained.
