Quote: if a workman falls behind, send a teacher to guide and study him; either improves or shifted to another class of work

Quotation

When one ceases to deal with men in large gangs or groups, and proceeds to study each workmen as an individual, [p. 70] if the workman fails to do his task, some competent teacher should be sent to show him exactly how his work can best be done, to guide, help, and encourage him, and, at the same time, to study his possibilities as a workman. So that, under the plan which individualizes each workman, instead of brutally discharging the man or lowering his wages for failing to make good at once, he is given the time and the help required to make him proficient at his present job, or he is shifted to another class of work for which he is either mentally or physically better suited.   Google-1   Google-2
