The inevitable conclusion to the material which has 
been presented in the preceding chapters is a summary 
which will present briefly, and without theory, the man 
ner in which this material can be put into actual practice. 
Therefore, under the heading: “A Practical Combination 
of Employment Methods”, the results of this study have 
been compressed into a concrete plan of procedure which 
can serve as a guide to the employment manager who 
wishes to apply them. 
It has also been deemed necessary to discuss in a spe 
cial chapter the applicant’s point of view. The machin 
ery of selection and retention would be crude and clumsy 
indeed if it were not devised with this point of view be 
fore it. 
In conclusion, it is sought to give employment psychol 
ogy its proper perspective through a consideration of its 
relation to the general interests of industry and labor. 
And so the definition of employment psychology with 
which we set out will once more be presented, this time 
in the more comprehensive terms which the body of the 
book has made possible.
