Excerpt from An Introduction to the Principles of Industrial Administration An elementary general knowledge of the underlying principles of administration is useful to all persons engaged in industrial employment. More particularly is such information essential to those who are undergoing some form of training designed with the object of fitting them ultimately to occupy positions of responsibility in industry. Equally important is a knowledge of the fundamentals of industrial organization to those who, while not actually engaged in industry, are nevertheless affected by the manner in which it is conducted. An attempt is made in the following pages to present in simple form that general survey of industry which such students require, and which is an introduction to the study of more specific aspects of the problem.

Excerpt from The Principles of Industrial Management The writer has long felt the need of a scientific treatment of industrial management. Hundreds of young men are now in our schools and colleges intending to engage in the world of affairs, and it is exceedingly important that they gain a clear conception of the principles underlying the successful conduct of industrial enterprises. The material in this book is gathered from many sources. Merely to mention the people to whom the author is indebted for data within these covers would fill several pages with names. The writer has endeavored to give full credit in the text for the drawings, plates, and diagrams, and, unless accidentally overlooked, all books and articles from which he has received assistance have been cited. In the text, however, there is no mention of his obligations to Judge Elbert H.Gary and Mr. Richard Trimble, of the United States Steel Corporation, to Mr. Wm. Laughlin, of Armour and Company, Mr. H. C. Folger, Jr., of the Standard Oil Company, Mr. E.Collins, Jr., of the Sauquoit Silk Manufacturing Company, Mr. L.A. Osborne, Vice-President of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, and Mr. H. E. Neise, of the American Sugar Refining Company; so he takes this opportunity to thank them for their many favors.

Excerpt from Administrative and Industrial Organization: Instruction Paper Reduced to its simplest form, we will suppose the business under consideration to be a small retail establishment conducted by two partners. No thought has been given to the principles of organiza tion, yet they are applied in that little store just as surely as in the im mense manufacturing plant. Ask any commercial salesman calling on the firm who is the man to see regarding the introduction of a new line of goods, and he will probably answer, Mr. Jones is the man to see; he does the buying. With no thought of organization, the owners of this little business realize that it is best for one man to do the buying. Perhaps the other may inspect samples, his opinion may be asked, he may even place an occasional order, but it is not the rule of the establishment. By placing the buying in the hands of one partner, confusion is avoided. He can keep in closer touch with prices, and the results are far more satisfactory.
