8.0-8.30 Dr. P. SARGANT FLORENCE: 'Men and Machines: I, The Modern Factory'

MODERN industry had been in full blast, with power-plants, mass-production, and factory labour, for the better part of a century before anyone began to make a serious study of the question of organizing the work so as to provide the maximum of convenience for the worker, and, in consequence, the maximum output from him. Industrial psychology is now, however, the subject of considerable research, and Dr. Sargant Florence is one of its pioneers. He has carried out official investigations for the British and United States Governments, and he is the author of two important books, 'The Economics of Fatigue and Unrest,', and 'Economics and Human Behaviour.' In this series of talks he will discuss the chief problems of industrial psychology, starting today with 'The Modern Factory,' and going on to such subjects as 'Hiring and Firing,' 'Why we Work and Why we Rest,' and 'The Toll of Accidents and Ill-Health.'
