1. A collection of knowledge relating in its entirety to the
future work of the learner.
2. A definite procedure, that will enable the learner to
apply the same process to acquiring knowledge of other subjects
in the most economical and efficient way.
It teaches the learner to be observant of details, which is the
surest method for further development of general truths and
concepts.
The method of attack of the methods provided for in Scientific
Management results, naturally, in a comparison of true data. This is
the most efficient method of causing the learner to think for
himself.
Processes differing but little, apparently, give vastly
different results, and the trained habits of observation quickly
analyze and determine wherein the one process is more efficient than
the other.
This result is, of course, the one most desired for causing
quick and intelligent learning.
The most valuable education is that which enables the learner to
make correct judgments. The teaching under Scientific Management
leads to the acquisition of such judgment, plus an all-around sense
training, a training in habits of work, and a progressive
development.
A partial topic list of the results may make more clear their
importance.
1. Worker better trained for all work.
2. Habits of correct thinking instilled.
3. Preparedness provided for.
4. Productive and repetitive powers increased.
5. Sense powers increased.
6. Habits of proper reaction established.
7. "Guided original work" established.
8. System of waste elimination provided.
9. Method of attack taught.
10. Brain fully developed.
11. "Standard response" developed.
12. Opportunities and demands for "thinking"
provided.
13. Self-reliance developed.
14. Love of truth fostered.
15. Moral sentiment developed.
16. Resultant happiness of worker.
RESULTS TO BE EXPECTED IN THE FUTURE.--When the schools,
vocational guidance and teaching under Scientific Management
cooeperate, the worker will not only receive the benefits now
obtained from Scientific Management, but many more. There will be
nothing to unlearn, and each thing that is learned will be taught by
those best fitted to teach it. The collection of vocational guidance
data will begin with a child at birth, and a record of his
inheritance will be kept. This will be added to as he is
educated, and as various traits and tendencies appear. From this
scientifically derived record will accrue such data as will assist
in making clear exactly in what place the worker will be most
efficient, and in what sphere he will be able to be most helpful to
the world, as well as to himself. All early training will be planned
to make the youth adept with his muscles, and alert, with a mind so
trained that related knowledge is easily acquired.
