best of all, with a capacity of judging for himself what he needs most to get.  In other words, if Scientific Management is what it claims to be, it leads to the development of a fuller life in every sense of the word, enabling the man to become a better individual in himself, and a better member of his community.  If it does not do this it is not truly Scientific Management.  Miss Edith Wyatt has said, very beautifully, at the close of her book, “Making Both Ends Meet"[7]:  “No finer dream was ever dreamed than that the industry by which the nation lives, should be so managed as to secure for the men and women engaged in it their real prosperity, their best use of their highest powers.  How far Scientific Management will go toward realizing the magnificent dream in the future, will be determined by the greatness of spirit and the executive genius with which its principles are sustained by all the people interested in its inauguration, the employers, the workers and the engineers.”

We wish to modify the word “dream” to the word “plan.”  The plan of Scientific Management is right, and, as Miss Wyatt says, is but waiting for us to fulfill the details that are laid out before us.

CONCLUSION.—­The results thus far attained by Scientific Management justify a prediction as to its future.  It will accomplish two great works.

    1.  It will educate the worker to the point where workers will
       be fitted to work, and to live.
    2.  It will aid the cause of Industrial Peace.

It will put the great power of knowledge into every man’s hands.  This it must do, as it is founded on cooeperation, and this cooeperation demands that all shall know and shall be taught.

With this knowledge will come ability to understand the rights of others as well as one’s own.  “To know all is to pardon all.”

Necessity for cooeperation, and trained minds:—­These two can but lead to elimination of that most wasteful of all warfare—­Industrial Warfare.  Such will be the future of Scientific Management,—­whether it win universal approval, universal disapproval, or half-hearted advocacy to-day.

When the day shall come that the ultimate benefits of Scientific Management are realized and enjoyed, depends on both the managers and the workers of the country; but, in the last analysis, the greatest power towards hastening the day lies in the hands of the workers.

To them Scientific Management would desire to appeal as a road up and out from industrial monotony and industrial turmoil.  There are many roads that lead to progress.  This road leads straightest and surest,—­and we can but hope that the workers of all lands, and of our land in particular, will not wait till necessity drives, but will lead the way to that true “Brotherhood” which may some day come to be.
