ABSTRACT
Americans, both employer and employed, have realized more fully than has been realized that brains rather than brawn count in most things; that mental rather than manual hustle is of primary importance. Human work in American industry has been studied and integrated with all other industrial processes. It has thus been planned to perform more with less expenditure, to waste less, to get the most out of the least effort, and to make machines work more. The average British worker has perhaps physically less stamina than his American counterpart today; perhaps less stamina than he himself had before the war. Throughout American industry the use of human work is better, ‘more scientific,’ more effective, more economical, and therefore more productive. It is a planned use of comparatively costly human skills and aptitudes. The problem of modern industry—its outstanding problem— is a human and humane matter.
