Dec. 7, 1910, Frederick W. Taylor, Esq.,
near Highland Station, Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, Pa. My deay Mr. Taylor:
I thank you for your letter of the 2nd, which has just reached me. It seems clear that we have the ball rolling, and it looks as if the great work for which you so patiently laid the foundation will now develop rapidly.
It does not seem to me that there ought to be the slightest conflict between the different magazine writers; indeed I should think that on the whole the more people who wrote about it and the more magazines that treated it, the better it would be for each. There are at least ninety millions of people in the United States, many of them readers, and what scientific management needs is an interpretation, not from one but from many minds.
Mr. Ray Stannard Baker has certainly made a most careful study of the subject, and I should be surprised if, with his rare ability, his article would not be a marked contribution to the cause.
Yours very truly,
Louis D. Brandeis
