John Piley & Sons, Inc, 44(MtA Ave, New York 16, N. Y. Hera's a follow-up in a foreman- or supervisor-training program. Its value to the power engineer applies moat to (1) shift or watch engineers (2) maintenance foremen who have direct relations with younger men breaking Into the power gome. This book stresses the human side of developing and bringing along operating workers to accept and understand the man agement aide of the supervisor's responsi bilities. Once some accepttnce is devel oped, next step is to get active participa tion among supervisors on a foreman-meet ing system to prevent or correct problems that creep up in plant management.
