Excerpt from Foremanship, Vol. 1: The Standard Course of the United Y. M. C. A Schools

The work and duties of foremen In Industrial plants have undergone sweeping changes during the past decade. While greater responsibilities for getting out the product have been placed upon them, they have been all too frequently left alone without training sufficient to meet the new condi tions as effectively as could be wished. Foremen constitute by far the largest executive group in industry - the group that gets things done. For merly, the foreman's job was many-sided. He had to look after the purchasing of materials and supplies, the repairing of machinery and equip ment, the designing and making of special tools, the securing of manufacturing orders, the keeping of workmen's time, the setting of wage rates, and the hiring and firing of workers. These functions, in part or in whole, are still his in many small plants; but in large ones they have been trans ferred to well-organized departments managed by trained men - sometimes schooled specialists.
