For at least that proportion of the population are) working as supervisors, and receive much valuable help from this program. The central point of the training program is keeping folks happy on the job and at the same time) Increasing the efficiency and pro ductivity of every individual. Mr. William E. Dewey, civilian head of Hill Field's post schools, has initiated the training program which is now being used throughout the world by the Air Service Command. Here at Hill Field some 2000 supervisors are helped with their mammoth job by five distinct services. They attend training classes. Pertinent posters are studied and given them to place where they will tell their story to the best advantage. Carefully prepared leaflets embodying tho best ideas on getting the job done in the shortest time are distributed for frequent reference. A handy text covering the three courses of instruction that all supervisors attend is given to each one of them. e in And the staff of six structors is at their beck and call to help them untangle knotty problems as they occur. "Telling without antagonizing" is one of the first problems that supervisors must learn to cope with. A personal sense of responsibility and pride in the job to be done is early instilled in each supervisor and passed on to every worker. The staff of instructors who de vote their time to assisting the supervisors includes: Carter S. Grant, Lloyd Brooks, Reed Fair banks, Douglas Wood, Merle Allen, De Loane Lamb, and Miss Edna Mae Coleman. full-tim- Babies! V-m- ail ; ... participate.
