The Early Days of the Rural Electrification Idea
The genealogy of the rural electrification idea and the story of its gradual development through the years 1914–36 may have important implications in the study of governmental and social institutions. Up to a comparatively recent date, there have been no generally recognized laws influencing progress, whether as to science, government, or society. Progress has been recognized in the main as a matter of chance, or perhaps as something like a 100-t…

A Note on Rates for Rural Electric Service
ANEGLIGIBLE percentage of the farms of the United States now have electric service. Therefore we can consider as in the making the Iform and content of the schedule of rates to be applied to this new class of service if and when rural electric service is developed. It cannot too often be recalled that the electrical industry began as a lighting industry exclusively. Forty years ago the idea of using electricity for power-or for anything else but …
Giant Power and Coal
GIANT POWER signifies not only a mammoth scale but a widely integrated electrical service and one benefiting largely from certain fundamental economies such as by-product recovery at present, either not practiced at all or practiced only at isolated points. Giant Power also implies definite social ends such as furnishing current generally to the small user, including both the farmer and the manufacturer removed from the congested centers of popul…
Ethics and the Engineering Profession
of conduct of any or group are very largely the reflection in action of its ideals. The moment ideals become fixed or static they are dead. This is the law of life. When we clothe a code of ethics as a guide to conduct with the quality of finality, it becomes as futile as sounding brass. Whether for the individual or the group it is in the light of our living, vibrant aspirations that all question of conduct must be tested. This is the constituti…
True Cost-Finding—What It Can Do for the Railroads
NO uniform system of cost-finding has ever been nationally 1 v applied to American railroads.One is tempted to make this statement much stronger and say that on no American railroad is there to be found a system of cost-finding comparable to the better systems in vogue in other industries.Such cost- finding would improve efficiency and service, reduce expenses, furnish a scientific basis for freight and passenger rates, inspire public confidence …
Who Is Boss in Your Shop
The European War has developed into a high-powered adver- tisement for community organization, for the scientific in manage- ment and even for capacity in the individual.Notwithstanding much that might be cited to the contrary, our great national desire is to be efficient in both government and industry.Individually and as a people we are almost relentlessly seeking the bases of such Effi- ciency ; and we use the word capitalized as a synonym for…
Scientific Management as a Solution of the Unemployment Problem
Thomas Carlyle in his Latter Day Problems has said that &dquo;the 'Organization of Labor' is the universal vital Problem of the world.&dquo;This seems to summarize my interest in scientific management.I believe that through a genuine science of management we are going to get more of what Mr. Carlyle had in mind by &dquo;organization&dquo; than by any other grouping of industrial mechanisms or by any other system of industrial philosophy.Managemen…
Scientific Management of the Public Business
The evolution of business organization is from the unsystematized through the systematized to the scientific. Governmental work-federal, state and municipal-is still almost exclusively in the unsystematized stage.Among the causes of municipal inefficiency are the attempt to hamper and control the action of individuals by a multiplicity of petty restrictions unknown in private business, and the separation of the municipal service into scores of di…
