"A SERIOUS MATTER"
lii his remarks to members of the .Chamber of Commerce last evening upon the immense possibilities of the application of methods dictated by a study of the mental factor in industry and business, Dr. C. E. Beeby, Director of the Psychological Laboratory, Canterbury College, gave many instances of the benefits, in increased output, coupled with greater comfort and happiness to the workers, consequent upon training "and direction by trained foremen, who would act' as educationists, not merely as super-policemen. In Russia, he said, study had been given even to so simple a matter as the throwing of bricks from workman to workman. In New Zealand the man iras told to get on with the job. "Of course," he added, "here in New Zealand you go to a tremendous lot of trouble to teach Rugby footballers how to throw the ball from one to another, but that's a serious matter. And who ■would think of going out on the golf course and just swiping the ball about? No, one goes to a professional, of course, but that, too, is not like throwing bricks abdut; it's sport; it's really serious."
