It will put the great power of knowledge into every man's hands.
This it must do, as it is founded on coöperation, and this
coöperation demands that all shall know and shall be taught.
With this knowledge will come ability to understand the rights
of others as well as one's own. "To know all is to pardon all."
Necessity for coöperation, and trained minds:--These two can but
lead to elimination of that most wasteful of all warfare--Industrial
Warfare. Such will be the future of Scientific Management,--whether
it win universal approval, universal disapproval, or half-hearted
advocacy to-day.
When the day shall come that the ultimate benefits of Scientific
Management are realized and enjoyed, depends on both the managers
and the workers of the country; but, in the last analysis, the
greatest power towards hastening the day lies in the hands of
the workers.
To them Scientific Management would desire to appeal as a road
up and out from industrial monotony and industrial turmoil. There
are many roads that lead to progress. This road leads straightest
and surest,--and we can but hope that the workers of all lands, and
of our land in particular, will not wait till necessity drives, but
will lead the way to that true "Brotherhood" which may some day come
to be.
