EMPLOYMENT PSYCHOLOGY 
bule school has been discussed here almost entirely as a 
supplementary means of selecting the unskilled and semi 
skilled workers which go to make so large a part of the 
present supply of labor. The education of skilled me 
chanics and highly skilled workers of all kinds has not 
been touched upon. The need for such education is 
obvious, but the methods to be used belong rather to the 
field of industrial education than to the field of employ 
ment psychology. Now, however, and for some time to 
come, there will be an enormous class of workers who 
have no particular trade or skill; and there will be an 
enormous number of jobs which require no particular 
skill or education. The task which confronts industry, 
therefore, is to select and to fit applicants for the work 
which is to be done. For this purpose, the vestibule 
school with its brief course of training is almost indis 
pensable.
