Human re lations is the study which first leads a person to realize and understand his own emotions Only when he really understands himself is the individual ln a position to understand to sympathize with and to help others Human relations is then that study which reveals the barriers which make communication be tween people and peoples so difficult Actually xt is this problem that is the very essence of world discord and the trigger of the real and very pertment problem of racial prejudice Now arises the question What if anythmg has been done to procure a knowledge and to concetve a better understandxng of the problems which are blockmg us from a better relationship with our fellow men? To answer this question even in part would take many volumes It IS an extremely complex field so new that as yet no history of it has been written I will therefore attempt only to give you some exa.mples of the methods used by the social sclentists and some of the results helpful to society that have been resolved from such experiments as the Glueck Study of Delinquency The Bethel Maine Expen ment 1n Group Leadershlp Trammg and the classic study of prejudice carried out In Callforma The problems of crime have long been among the most difficult of soclety We have provided law courts and prisons and other methods of penology but neither our legislature nor our courts have had much in the way of solid facts concerning underlying causes or sources of criminal conduct In 1939 Professor Sheldon Glueck and his wife Dr Eleanor Glueck commenced what was to become the most extensive and sclentlhc investigation mto the age old problem of delinquency in all history This Field was not new to the Gluecks for durmg the preceding fifteen years they had conducted many experiments in and had written several books on prison correctional treatment They entered mto this newer field with bold originality and painstaking thoroughness applying methods of careful precision in an area which had heretofore been filled with speculation and conjecture As a result of thelr findings the following were eliminated as causes of delinquency place of resl language spoken economic status etc and such fac tors as age of school entrance and attltude toward school Not so outstandmg yet still slgmncant, were the factors of health intelligence basic character traits and emotional stress Of these ill health cul ture conflict and large families have at one time or another been stressed by leading crlmmologlsts as being basic causes in the or1g1n of delinquency While the investigation was too incomplete for conclusions to be stated exactly certain facts regard mg delmquents have emerged On the whole they were more extroverted vrvacxous lmpulslve and less self controlled than the non delmquents They were more hostile resentful defiant suspicious and destruc tive and less fearful of failure or defeat than the non delmquents They were less concerned about meet in conventional expectation and were far less sub ITIISSIVC to authority They were as a group more socially assertive and to a greater extent than the control group they expressed the feeling of not being recognized or apprecrated Socro culturally they were dlSIlI1glllShCd by having been reared to a far greater extent in homes of little understanding Thus we see in the Glueck investigation for the first time a scientifically sound attempt to get at the causal factors in the breakdown of human relations that result In juvenile delmquencv The next project in human relations I am going to consider is the Bethel Maine Experiment m Group Leadershlp To procure pioneers for any field is always dxffi cult therefore in order to encourage basic research in this particular held the National Educational .

The class starts wrth the reading by the teacher of a prepared lesson whrch rllustrates the days theme- rnferrorrty feelmgs problems at home and the lrke After the story the teacher encourages the students to drscuss freely the emotional problems brought out rn the story and to tell from therr own experrence of srtuatlons lrke those drscussed Durrng thrs retell rng of experrences the students often brmg out prob lems which they have never drscussed before and as a result are often enabled to garn a better understand mg of therr own actions Through these lessons the student gets a sense of relref when he drscovers others have felt and thought the way he does One of the techmques used rn the Bullrs lessons was the socrogram A set of questrons was grven to boys and grrls rn all classes from krndergarten to the erghth grade The questrons requrred the students to choose from therr classmates those whom each would want to have stay rn the same classroom and srt near hrm The results showed among other thmgs, the num ber of pupils unchosen or Isolated, the number choos mg each other, forming mutual parrs, and the number formmg trrangles or chams Some captured the drs trnctron of bemg chosen by nearly everyone a . . t .

workers rs hrgh Let us take a qurck look at the relatrons between employer and worker over the centurres see how the supervrsors treated the laborer long ago and how condrtrons have rmproved VVe find the first wrrtten records rn Egypt and Assyrra prcture wrrtrng five thousand years old on the walls of pyramrds and slabs of sun baked clay These prctures show the foreman of that day a. brute of a man carryrng a spear rn one hand and a whrp rn the other the whrp to enforce hrs orders and the spear to deal wrth msubordrnatron The laborers of thrs day were slaves who cowered and torled at the back breakrng tasks of haulrng huge trmbers and stones The supervrsor had the terrrble authorrty of lrfe and death and many trmes used thrs authorrty rn dealrng wrth the men In the Mrddle Ages the lot of the workmg man rmproved slrghtly over that of the slave Laborers then were called serfs and served under a lord or baron workmg rn hrs fields or fightrng rn hrs army The serfs were not sold as slaves but were transferred wrth the land when rt was sold They were forced to lrve rn unsamtary huts and recerved a very meager share of the crops whrch they worked so hard to rarse Agam the rmmedrate supervrsor wrelded the whrp and had the power to send the serf to the dungeon for torture starvatron or even death At about thrs same trme groups called gurlds were formed whrch were the forerunners of modern unrons These gurlds were comprrsed of master craftsmen who banded together to obtam certarn rrghts The old master craftsmen often took young men as therr apprentrces who worked long hard hours but were treated much better than the ordmary serf for they lrved rn the same dwellmg wrth thcrr master and ate at hrs table wrth hrm In erght to ten years the apprentrce mrght hrmself become a journeyman or a master craftsman Gradually as the centurres rolled by and govern ments of natrons became more enlrghtened the work man fared better Laws were passed grvrng hrm more basrc rrghts and he now was pard for hrs servrces Although he was not sold as property he neverthe less was looked upon as a commodrty thought of as materral to be purchased at the lowest rate possrble and drsposed of at the pleasure of management I other words he was not thought of as a person wrth feelrngs The next great change rn workmg condrtrons co rncrdes wrth the rnventron of the steam engrne rn the late erghteenth century Human muscle was now partly replaced by mechanrcal power Desprte thrs fact laborers torled srxteen or erghteen hours a day and women and chrldren were sometrmes chamed to looms and other machrnes Many overseers strll carrred a whrp or stout cane to beat sleepy workers Sanrtary condrtrons rn these first factorres were ex tremely poor and wages were so low that workers could afford only the barest necessrtres The fore man of the early factory was not a burlder of team work or loyalty he was feared and hated because he was a symbol of power and cruelty As the years moved on employees garned further rrghts and achreved greater freedom Use of physrcal force was rare true, the foreman sometrmes knocked hrs workers around a brt by a rrght to the chrn or a stout krck but usually he enforced hrs washes by firrng the vrorker When Henry Ford rntroduced assembly lmes, many exrstrng Jobs were de skrlled The great prrde whrch the craftsman once felt when he vrewed the finrshed artrcle he alone had made has now vamshed I do not mean that the worker does not take prrde rn hrs work but the prrde rs not as great as that of the craftsman In the same manner the great

Western Electrrc Company for three years engaged rn an attempt to test the effects of lrghtrng on the worker and hrs output In 1927 at the companys Hawthorne works rn Chrcago two groups of grrl workers were put rnto two separate rooms One room had varrable lrghtrng whrle the other had the usual lrghtrng The experrmenters were surprrsed when they saw the productron rn both rooms rncrease They finally realrzed that rt was not the lrghtrng that affected productron but the fact that the grrls had been srngled out for specral atten tron They no longer felt they were merely cogs rn the factory and therefore produced more The Hawthorne Works has now rssued to all rts employees rts ten commandments of management These commandments have been xery effectrve rn burldrng morale and efficrency rn the plant They are to marntarn reasonable hours of work and safe work mg condrtrons to provrde contmuous employment consrstent wrth busrness condrtrons to place employees rn the krnd of work best surted to therr abrlrtres to help each rndrvrdual to progress rn the companys servrce to ard employees rn trmes of need to encour age thrrft to co operate rn socral athletrc and other recreatronal actrvrtres to accord to each employee the rrght to drscuss freely wrth executrves any matters concernrng hrs or her welfare or the companys rn terest to carry on darly work rn a sprrrt of frrendlrness and to pay all employees adequately for services rendered These commandments are the basrc prrncrples of modern rndustrral human relatrons I shall now con srder some of them rn detarl Marntarnrng reasonable workmg hours rs a very rmportant part of modern rndustrral human relatrons For example a company rn England rn 1893 tned the experrment of reducrng weekly workmg hours from fifty four to forty erght hours After a trral of about two years rt was found that productron rn creased consrderablv whrle the amount of lost trme decreased Fven though thrs experrment proved shorter hours yrelded greater productron rt was many years before any great number of compames used the plan At present the work week has been cut even shorter rn most companres generally to forty hours X ' I 1 . . - .

A safe shop grves the workers more confidence Srmple safety measures can prevent very serrous accrdents By educatrng the men rn accrdent preven tron prrncrples through the use of classes pamphlets, posters lectures and motron prctures compames have reduced the hrgh frequency of accrdents throughout the factory The prmcrple that a man works better when he works at somethmg he lrkes has proved true Many factorres now have aptrtude tests by whrch the abrh tres of the prospectrve employees are found Proper placement rncreases productron by a great amount and thus facllrtates shorter hours and better pay Employee benefits such as srck benefits rnsurance pensrons termrnatron allowances rn case of lay offs and employ ee loan funds greatly rmprove the morale of the workers When properly admrnrstered they prorrde the sympathetrc consrderatron needed by the worker rn trmes of crrsrs If men play together they wrll work better together Many factorres have provided recreatronal facrlrtres for therr employees For an example close to home vue may take Nlorton Company Thrs company now has rts own gymnasrum athletrc field and swrmmrng pool Workers are encouraged to take part rn recre atronal actrwrtres Any employee may partrcrpate and so toremen sometrmes play on the same team as the men or er whom they presrde when they are workmg Thrs assocratron makes for exceptronally good man agement employee relatrons These are some of the basrc prmcrples of modern mdustrral human relatrons Thrs new scrence rs however strll rn rts rnfancy Companres like Norton s and lVestern Electrrc are proneers and they are few and far between It may be noted rn conclusion how ever that where compames have adopted these prrn crples the decrease rn strikes rs amazrng production has rncreased and so also have profits all because the compames keep therr men happy' EARL WILLEY afzecuaff 'zen XVrth seemrngly mcredrble swrftness our four years rn hrgh school have passed leavmg us with many fond

Tl is is a high and noble aim but already another tragic chap- ter of history is being written in Korea. It is on the international level that man has made the least progress in bettering human relations. Although man through the ages has advanced from the cave dwelling to the castle in his international relations he has ad- vanced only from the club to the standing army. Individuals make up the family and they have learned to live together happily. Individual families make up communities and they have learned to iron out their differences through town meetings. Indi- vidual communities make up the nation and they have learned to co-operate for the common good. lc-'trn to live together in peace and harmony or they will he destroyed together in a third world catastrophe. The very existence of a social civilization depends upon the emotional relationship among the peoples of the world. The nations must learn to recognize their problems to analyze them scientifically and proceed to solve them in a calm and intelligent manner. In order to do this we must have open and honest co-operation of all world governments. VVe, the graduates of 1953 going out into a changing world must face this problem realistically along with the other problems of our age. Ours is being called an age of confusion an age of uncertainty. We can- not sit back and wait for someone else to end this confusion for us. We cannot nait to see which direction this change will ta.ke for change is not necessarily for the better. In the modern world. changes take place at an ever increasing pace, and we cannot let things take their course and then expect to pick up the threads and go ahead without a pause to untangle the confusion. Aesop wrote a fable about a fly perched on the wheel of a swiftly racing chariot. The Hy survey ed the enveloping clouds of dense dust and remarked: See what a dust I am, raising. In these rapidly changing times we cannot be like Aesops fly and fro along for a free ride' we must accept our responsibilities and pull our own weight on the wheels of progress. We must end the confusion. VVe must go forward or we shall slip into a second dark ae. We must elect to office men of proven leadership and integrity. We must use our knowl- of a world in which there is less suffering less poverty 'md less misery. We must rebuild the moral founda- tions of our modern life. VVe must end race hatreds for we are all members of one race-mankind. With the shadow of World War III hanging over us dare we say we can do nothing about the desperate need of the world for better human relations? The strongest voice in a democracy is the voice of public opinion. Within a few short years ours will be a part of this voice. But we must have opinions to voice' what is more we must have convictions and the courage of our convictions. The balance of the twentieth century is ours. We shall live its history. May it be a glorious chapter. 4' The Two Tenifvles by Viola B. Shepherd. DOROTHY J.
