Cadet Colonel GIRL HONORED AT UNIVER- SITY OF MAINE. METHODS OF HIRING EMPLOYES ARE HIT Personnel Expert S3ys Men Are Picked Blindly by . Many Employers. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, May 14 —Arbitrary ftems, such as the color of a man's hair, his height and weight, the length of his nose or the slant of his eyebrows, are mportant factors in the unemployment | situation. | This was the statement today of Bryan Houston, manager of personnel training of the Standard Oil Co. of ©Ohlo, who told how these items enter into "“the blind-man's-buff game” of employer and employe, one seeking the best job for his talents and the other for good men. Because it's a_game of blind man’s buff, the cost is heavy to industry, and | the danger of men losing their jobs is increased, he said. Weird Methods Used. “Some employers apply weird meth- HELEN STEARNS ©ds in selecting their men,” Houston = n- . rrmey Wih 1ot hire a man if ne | Of Millinoket, Me., was made an ho has Ted hair.

Much of this could be avoided by painstaking research as to the man, his intelligence and personal history. Sees Importance of Past. Houston said it is “sheer stupidity” to hire a man without obtaining as much information as possible on his personal history. | “In this respect two of the most in- teresting psychological situations in i dustry are, first, the average foreman’s childlike confidence that he knows how to handle me nd second, the average gales exccutive’s equally sublime faith that he knows hew to pick them.” JEWS FINISH HYMNAL Revised Edition to Be Submitted June 6 Before American Rabbis.
