“Miss Tarbell has rendered a great service in bringing together within the covers of a single book, the actual results of hundreds of experiments along these lines. She has visited plants of all sorts all over the country, she has interviewed both masters and men, she has watched the transformation of communities from the old type to the new, and she reports her findings specifically, giving places and names, so that the interested employer can check the facts and secure, if desired, additional information.”—Bellman, Minneapolis.
“This is one of the few books of joyful information that are available to the reader to-day. It is thoroughly informing; it reveals not only details of management, but also the personal reactions of employers and employés. Improvement in workshops and surroundings, safety for the workers, health for every man, sobriety, good homes, shorter hours and better work, sufficient wages, experiments in justice, scientific management—these are some of the topics that Miss Tarbell treats with fullness and accuracy and with much of the lively optimism that is based on facts and figures. The movement for the employment of higher ideals in business is bigger than the average man realizes, and Miss Tarbell’s book is a book to read.”—North American Review.
