MOTION STUDY
provided it does not die the natural death in the combat
of the survival of the fittest.

national postage stamps, international courts, international
arbitration, and international weights and measures; but
there can be no reason for not having an international
system of written alphabetical characters, and while hav-
ing it let us decide in favor of that system that fulfills
the requirements of motion study, both of the hand in
making, and of the eye in reading.
The First Steps
In the meantime, while we are waiting for the politicians
and educators to realize the importance of this subject and
to create the bureaus and societies to undertake and com-
plete the work, we need not be idle. There is work in
abundance to be done.
Motion study must be applied to all the industries.
Our trade schools and colleges can:
1. Observe the best work of the best workers.
2. Photograph the methods used.
3. Record the methods used.
4. Record outputs.
5. Record costs.
6. Deduce laws.
7. Establish laboratories “for trying out laws.”
8. Embody laws in instructions.
9. ' Publish bulletins.
10. Cooperate to spread results and to train the rising
generation.
