The Job, the Man, the Boss by Katherine M.H. Blackford, M.D. and Arthur Newcomb
The book isscientific, because it is organized knowledge based upon verified facts.
It ispractical, because it has grown out of fifteen years' experience in advising young men and young women in the choice of their vocations; counseling employers in choosing, placing, handling and training employes; investigating industrial and commercial institutions for the purpose of professional advice upon efficiency in general and increasing the efficiency of employes in particular; in the installation, operation, and supervision of employment departments under theBlackford Employment Plan.
It isdefinite, because it recounts in detail the operation of this Plan, reproducing all forms and blanks used.
It isclear, because the story is simply told and illustrated with many reproductions of photographs.

"A timely book is this volume of the Newcombs. It has been waited for by students of management, who have recognized the need of all possible help in placing the right man in the right job. . . . It is so rich in suggestion that mere reading, let alone study of the book, is highly profitable and not without its conviction that the authors have more than an academic knowledge of the selection and placing of men in work and that gradually we shall be evolving a science in analyzing 'human capabilities so far as anything exact is possible in this realm."—Iron Age, July 2, 1914.
