INDUSTRIES ' Systematic Training of Workers Betters Industrial Conditions Pittsburgh, Nov. . 10.—Systematic training of workers to promote effi- clency is gaining ground in American commerce and industry, according to a report presented to the convention of the National Personnel Association heer today by the Committee of Psy- chological Tests and Rating Scales, of which Dr. E. K. Strong, Jr., director of the Bureau of HEducational Re- search, Carnegle Institute of Technolo- €Y, is chairman.

Thirty-one of these companies, which include in- dustrial and public utility = corpora- tions, life ‘insurance companies, banks and railroads, employ psychological tests to measure intelligence, aptitude and progress. i Proof of Value Twenty-seven companies have some proof of the value of psychologi- cal tests and rating scales. “If only the companies reporting training work are | considered,” says the committee, "“we find an equal percentage—ffty-three per cent—of both industrial and pub- lic utllity companies are using psy- chological tests, ‘and approximately nineteen per cent are contemplating their use, whereas twice as many in- dustrial companies-——twenty-nine per cent-—are employing rating scales as are public utility companies—thirtcen per cent. ¥ “Psychological tests and rating scales are used today by a considerable number of corporations, and it is very evident that their use is being extend- ed within those companies and to still other companies. “A few companies are not satisfied that these devices are really worth while, and have Incorporated them ns part of their regular machinery of ad- ministration. A larger number of com- panies are feeling their way and are trying them out, usually upon restrict- ed groups of their employes. But the great majority of companies are not using them at all, although a few of these are now interested and will try them in the near future. Members of ‘Committee “It is clear that a high correlation ‘exists between the use of these devices and the existence of proof of their value. This should be borne in mind by those who hive maintained that I were ’No. 1, at Thompson's Point. conducted the Inquiry Included repre- sentatives of colleges, life insurance, ‘munumcmrlnn. merchandising and | public utility effort in New York, Chi- | cago, Pennsylyania. “Possibly,” concludes the report,, “the most Important functions to * be performed for next year by a com- mittee such as the one presenting this report are, first, to discover the varie- ty of tests now being employed, and, second, to present such data as is avallable proving the value of psycho- logleal tests and rating scales..' HEALTH EDUCATION IS HUMAN FACTOR Progressing in Industry, Says Re- port at Personnel Convention Pittsburgh, Nov, 10,—~The meoral standards of the American workman have risen since the war, it is declared by the committce ou shop training of the national personnel association, of which' R. L, Sackett, dean of engin- cering, Pennsylvania State college, and a leader in the educationul work of jthe American Society of Mechanical Fngineers, is chairman, in a report read at the second day's session of the annual convention of the assoclation here today. The standards of workmanship are also higher, according to the report, "Which said: “The resumption of pro- i duction is proving again that we have a shortage of skilled workmen. In- dustries are picking the men whom they emplgy with more discrimination than was possible during the war. Value of Education “At no previous time has there been the same appreciation by wage-earn- éng of the value of practical education which pertains more or less directly {o their job. There are continuation schools for those under ‘the statutory age limit; there are trade schools, Y. M. C. A. schools and correspondence courses. All of these are being utiliz- ed and are contributing to the train- ing of the industrial classes, princi- pally the younger portion,"” The vestibule schools, affording group training, and largely an out- growth of the war, may or may not have’ come to stay, said the report, which found that opinion differs wide- ly as to whether it is only an emer- gency expedient or not. “With industry,” continued the re- port, “thinking more and more aiong the lines of oducation and training, it would appear that the time is not far off when many of them will have, in many departments at least, an in- structor as well as a foreman, prob- ably not giving full time to ingtruction but devoting whatever time is neces- sury to preparing new employes for the particular tasks they are to perform. Foremen Post Teachers “Many training leaders, particular- ly those working outside of produc- tion, have been decidedly opposed to utilizing the foreman as a teacher. There is a vast amount of difference between ‘knowing how' and ‘teaching how." “Unskilled workmen who have he- come skilléd in some operation through vestibule or shop training un- doubtedly have a greater interest in their work. They have, in d ldrge measure. at least, made up fdr their carlier loss in not having a trade. By bringing them into the semi-skilled class, it tends to hold them cloger to the job. They can be more readily taught other opevatiors and in time become numbered among the most valuable workmen.” Among the members of the com- mittee which prepared the report C.
