THE DAILY TAR HEEL Page Four , .. ... v..,- LECTURES TAYLOR CLUB YESTERDAY Defends Personnel, Administra tion; Flays yoii Stand ( On Organization. Speaking before the Univer sity student branch of the Tay lor Society at its' regular meet ing Wednesday evening, Dr. G. T. Schwenning, associate profes sor of business administration, offered a defense of personnel administration and stated that more progress has been made in the past 20 years from the de velopment of a social conscience j than was made in all the pre vious years of legislation and compulsory actiohi. ; Summing up his defense, Dr. Schwenning; said that one' may consistently urge the develop ment of scientific' personnel man agement as one of the immediate agencies by which" the status of the working class may be im proved, and many of the ob vious evils of industry, can be mitigated. Speaking of the objections of the unions to the development of personnel administration, Mr. Schwenning, who was present ing the side of the employer in the question, said : "We say that we must maintain the unions to fight the bad conditions in in dustry, and yet we are trying to maintain the bad conditions so that the unions will have some thing to fight.' He likened this position to that of the charac ter in a novel who asked that sin be sent so that there would be something against which vir tue could fight, believing that if there were no sin, there would be no evil for virtue to combat. Commenting on1 the present labor situation iri Danville, Va., wnere me American reuerauim of Labor is making an effort to unionize the workers', the' speak er stated that the ' union was making one of its' first attempts at unionization in ' the south at Danville because the-industrial democracy in the mills there has been in successful' operation for about 11 years. - Because it fears that this suc cessful system will spread, the union is attacking this plant rather than going to some of the other mills where conditions are far worse, was the idea con veyed by the speaker. This seems to be a deliberate attempt of the union to insure its own existence rather than remedy the situation where improve ment is most needed, he further stated. "The unions have been con centrating their efforts on the 10 per cent of the plants which have had successful methods of preventing industrial unrest and unsatisfactory conditions, and it is unfair for the unions to do this rather than to concentrate their efforts on the remaining 90 per cent of industries which are in far worse condition." That there is no one solution for the problem of unsatisfac tory labor relations was the opinion of the speaker, but he continued: "I maintain that, with its obvious deficiencies, sci entific personnel management is as intelligent a method as has been applied to the problem." Personnel management is a comparatively new thing, and there is much territory that has not yet been touched by it. "The south is as yet untouched by per sonnel management, but as we get larger industries and more specialized executives, we will get it. Before we do so, how ever, it is probable that we will get some legislation and some unemployment." The world is becoming so demo cratic that the grand manner would be extinct except for traffic cops. Bangor Daily Commercial.

BAR ASSOCIATION TO HOLD MEETING A meeting of the North Caro lina Bar Association will be held at Pinehurst Thursday, Friday and Saturday, May 1, 2 and 3. The members of the law school ' faculty will attend, and second and third year classes have been excused on Friday to allow the members of those classes to at tend. Twenty of the law school students who have passed the bar examination have joined the bar association. Professor Van Hecke will make a report at the Bar Asso ciation meeting on the progress of the work of preparing a lo cal Annotation of the American Law Institute's Restatement of the Law of Contracts. M. R. Trabue of the bureau of educational research and Dean Francis F. Bradshaw at tended a meeting of the nation al committee on personnel work held at Princeton University on April 25 and 26. This commit tee has been active for the past five years under the direction of the American Council on Edu cation. The most outstanding accom plishment of the meeting was the developing of the use of "scales and tests" for measur ing achievements in college. Thus, instead of a student's ac quaintance .with a subject being measured by the number of courses he "has in that field of study, it is measured by i his actual knowledge and accom plishment in that work. Several colleges are already using this system. A student entering one of these schools is not classified according to the number ot units he presents for i 1 -j T r T i la creart out oy nis actual learning j in his subjects. Five hundred thousand dollars will be used in the next ten years to develop j this idea. A report was made on various factors that influence students j in their judgment of moral and ethical problems. An appeal is I being made for funds for fur ther advancement of this work' among students.
