Excerpt from Life in a Large Manufacturing PlantThe title of the book is most expressive, as it strikes the key-note of the author's message. The fitness of the word Life is evident, when one realizes that, after deducting Sundays, holidays and hours spent in sleep, about one half of what remains for those engaged in industry is spent in the workshop. As labor occupies so large a portion of the time, happiness and success are largely dependent upon their work and their attitude towards it. Health, education, and mental and spiritual development are all strongly in¿uenced, for good or ill, by our environ ment, and conditions which make for moral, physical and mental better ment are bound to add to the zest of our interest and enjoyment in our work and in our play alike.The various activities described in this book have not sprung into existence at one time but have grown in a natural manner to meet the conditions of a changing and expanding enterprise. None of them are perfect, none of them are finished, but have been and will continue to be subject to growth, change and adaptation, with changing times and circumstances.As the writer of this introduction has been associated with this enterprise since its beginning, and has seen the start and growth of all the activities described, he was urged to say something about them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
