Frederick Taylor is coming into his own today. 
Taylor, like other pioneers and inventors of the past, 
was not appreciated during his lifetime. He died 
of a broken heart, especially because the laboring 
men, the men he was trying most to help, regarded

of further “exploitation.” 
Under other names Taylor's methods and ideals, 
as developed by H. L. Gantt, Morris L. Cooke, 
Wallace Clark, Henry S. Dennison, the Gilbreths, 
and others, are coming into effect. President 
Hoover has had his Committee on the Elimination
