Mr. Frederick W. Taylor,
Highland Station,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Dear Mr. Taylor:
I thank you for sending me a copy of the special edition of your small book on the Principles of Scientific Management which I shall read with a great deal of interest.
I have been requiring my class of ten graduate students who are taking my lectures on the Organization and Administration of Public Service Companies, to study your former paper on Shop Management and I think it has done them much good.
Sincerely yours,
Dugald C. Jackson
I have an acquaintance who is a young editor of a socialist magazine but who really has it in him to do better things. He recently expressed a strong wish to meet you. Would it be practicable for you to spend a half hour with him, telling him what the efficient organization of work really means, in case he should go to Philadelphia?
