Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reorganisation of Industry Series; II: Some Problems of Urban and Rural Industry The success of the Conference held at Oxford under the auspices of Ruskin College, in July, 1916, and the extensive demand for the published Report of its proceedings, seemed to justify the holding of a second conference at Bradford; and, as it is hoped to arrange for a number of other conferences from time to time, it has been decided to issue reports in a series entitled "The Reorganisation of Industry," of which this forms the second volume. At Oxford the wish was expressed by more than one delegate that Rural Problems might form the subject of discussion on some future occasion, and two of the papers here printed - those by Mr. Orwin and Mr. Ashby - with the discussions to which they gave rise, are the outcome of this suggestion. The inadequacy of British literature on "Scientific Management" and the growing importance of the subject will justify its inclusion in the programme of the Conference; and the usefulness of the discussion on Mr. Cole's paper was greatly enhanced owing to the fact that its opener is a well-known employer of labour, as those present were in this way enabled to hear the subject dealt with from the point of view of both employers and employed. There is no need to emphasise the importance of the many problems connected with the subject of "Women in Industry," discussed in the paper by Dr. Marion Phillips. The four papers, having been circulated beforehand amongst the delegates, were not read at the meetings, but the writers introduced their subjects by short speeches which have been here summarised instead of being printed verbatim; m.order to avoid repetition. The College, of course, does not hold itself responsible for all the views expressed, but it publishes this little book in the belief that it will be of service to those whose thoughts are already occupied with industrial reorganisation, and with the hope that it may encourage further study of the problems with which it deals.
