THE APPLICANT’S POINT OF VIEW 375 
its apparatus and technique, medicine has come to stand 
in the eyes of all as a servant of the physical welfare of 
mankind. The same opinion will probably be ultimately 
entertained toward the science of psychology. The ob

employment psychology is to attain the viewpoint of the 
applicant, and to further his interests by selecting him 
for the work which he is best able to do and at which he 
will be of greatest value to society and to himself.
