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  manner ­
  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  special ­
  chapter  the  applicant’s  point  of  view.  The  machinery ­
  of  selection  and  retention  would  be  crude  and  clumsy
indeed  if  it  were  not  devised  with  this  point  of  view  before ­
  it.
In  conclusion,  it  is  sought  to  give  employment  psychology ­
  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.
