Work and Science \ \ 



remove,! from your work and you may not con- 

 sider them of any immediate value, yet the experi- 

 mental chemist, the research engineer, and the 

 industrial man who plans and develops will have 

 a more intimate effect upon your work than will 

 any other department in your facto 



Of course, the improvement which they can 

 effect dcpcn largely upon the defects which 



you see and the possible improvements which you 

 can suggest. There must be a constant inter- 

 change between the worker, with his daily experi- 

 ence at the bench or machine, and the research 

 departments conducting their operations for the 

 improvement of the industry of the future. 



Turning the Improvement into Itnmtsf. The 



object of all this improvement and development 



> increase the amount of production which can 



be made useful to the people. We arc accustomed 



to think that the object of all this work is to make 



more money for the concern in whose organ 



tion we are working. That may be the object of 



the concern, but it is not the reason why they make 



money and it is not the object of the work or of 



as a whole. The people pay because they 



are served by the dcliv hem of these useful 



products and they are charging their obli- 



i they pay a proportionate price for 



the service. If more products can be turned out 



in a given time so that there arc more conveniences 



and comforts to be secured by a larger number 



of people, the service is worth more to the people. 



l ic company which performs this service 



will receive a larger total reward.
