Excerpt from Principles of Industrial Organization The ideals that man has held before him in his toilsome journey from savagery to civilization have varied with changing time and place. Among many of the older nations war was the central thought, the country was an armed camp and predatory methods were an approved means of national support. In other cases some form of religion was the predominating influence, and the social and industrial organization was modelled accordingly. In a few of the older civilizations industry was held in high esteem; but for the most part it was considered menial to labor and industry was adjudged by standards that now seem strange indeed. But as the humanistic side of civilization has made progress we have attained higher ideals regarding industry. Never before in the history of mankind has it been so universally acknowledged that physical, mental and moral well-being rest upon and are solely supported by labor. Industry is the business of the civilized world, and the greater part of our problems, national, state and home, center around the great industrial questions. Furthermore, industry is being looked upon more and more, not as an incidental matter, nor merely as a means of securing personal profits, but as the great basic feature of our civilization on which must rest our entire well-being.

Excerpt from The Administration of Industrial Enterprises: With Special Reference, to Factory Practice In discussing physical equipment it has been necessary to skirt the borders of a vast field of technical knowledge, choos ing such matter as the general executive should possess in his attempt to supervise the work of technical experts. With reference to administrative organization, the aim has been to bring the contributions of scientific management into relation with the general body of underlying principles of administration which are valid for all forms of joint action; and to do SO by sketching the evolution Of administrative practice rather than by a systematic review of pure principles. The relations of labor and capital have been handled with two leading purposes in mind, namely, to present the labor problem from the viewpoint of the employing manager and, second, to elaborate somewhat the meaning of the new philanthropy which aims to bring to the less favored classes a fuller measure of the rational Objects of life, through the organized and normal processes of industry, rather than through extra-economic alleviative agencies.
