FELD, ROSE CAROLINE. Humanizing industry. *$2.50 Dutton 331.1
20–8521
“Miss Feld has written a story concerning one Struthers who, inheriting an industrial plant run on old-fashioned lines of benevolent despotism, tries to introduce modern ideas and overcomes one by one the obstacles created by a bad tradition. It is not fiction, but the method of telling enhances the impression of the author’s belief in good personal relationships and common sense as the most promising approaches to a humanization of industry. Incidentally, the book discusses in detail and with reference to successful experiments the merits of welfare, educational, insurance, pension, profit sharing and industrial representation schemes.”—Survey

“There seems to be one thing overlooked. In speaking of human relations, the author seems to have in mind kindliness, friendliness, charitableness—of which we have none too much. She does not mean anything as fundamental as the economic relationship of classes to one another, to the soil and natural resources, to the powers of government. She reminds me pathetically of the reformers who hoped to save the institution of slavery by inducing slave holders to treat their slaves and mules in a more kindly way.” B. C. G.
