RELATION BETWEEN RECORDS AND PROGRAMMES.--No discussion of records and programmes would be complete that did not consider the relation between them. IMPORTANCE OF THIS RELATION.--The relation between records and programmes in the various types of management is most important, for the progress from one type to another may be studied as exemplified in the change in these relations. A BROADENING OF THE DEFINITIONS.--In order to understand more plainly the complexity of this relation, we will not confine ourselves here to the narrower definition of a record as a written account, but will consider it to mean a registering of an experience in the mind, whether this expresses itself in a written record or not, A programme will, likewise, be a mental plan. MANY POSSIBLE TYPES OF RECORDS AND PROGRAMMES.--In order to understand the number of different types of records and programmes that can be made for a worker, the table that follows may be examined (Table I). It exemplifies twelve possible records and twelve possible programmes. TABLE I / / | |1. unconscious record | |2. conscious record, /1.
