4. Personnel Relations in Industry ; by A. M. Simons. New 

 York, 1921 (The Ronald Press Company). — This is one of sev- 

 eral books, recently published, summarizing experience in devel- 

 oping more satisfactory human relations in industrj^. The 

 information presented was first used in classes in the extension 

 Department of the University of "Wisconsin. As most of the 

 members of these classes were executives in industrial manage- 

 ment, the data brought together by the teacher, Mr. Simons, 

 were subjected to practical discussion by the pupils who could 

 apply the test of daily practice. The author believes that 

 ' ' human nature ' ' is the ' ' basic characteristic ' ^ of all industrial 

 problems. He is also confident that ''scientific methods of 

 analysis" will prove to be "the contribution of our age to the 

 ever-present problem of labor."
