That is the way we teach a man. Theboy going to school and learning algebra does not begin atquadratic equations. Reaching college he does not start atcalculus; he has to start with the elementary principles. Suppose I am a manufacturer and employ a weaver; thefirst thing he does is to change his shuttles. It is an easytask. He may not be able to take care of the warps, takecare of the beams, take care of the machine, but he is able totake care of the shuttles. Next he may learn to take care ofthe reed, and he gradually will become an efficient he attacks first of all the easiest unit of the task on whichhe is employing his skill, and then the next easiest, and so on. Now to induce this man to learn most efficiently onestep after another, and to give him his share of the resultsof increased efficiency, the bonus system of payment is automatically makes his wage greater as his efficiencyincreases i88 TUCK SCHOOL CONFERENCE. Let e = the unit effort to reach efficiency from the lowest, say 50%,to 60% efficiency; and let the effort be twice as large to reach from60% to 70% efficiency, , let the effort required to reach from 50% to 60% = e from 60% to 70% = 2e from 70% to 80% = se from 80% to 90% = 6e from 90% to 100% = i2e therefore the individual has used up efforts at the different stages ofindividual efficiency, as follows, — at 60% e at 70% e + 2e at 80% e + 2e + $e at 90% e + 2e + $e + 6e at 100% e + 2e + 2>e + 6e + ne effort efficiency Now result reward therefore if effort = e, Reward v — e if effort = 2e, Reward v 1 = e + 2e if effort = 36, Reward v 2 = e + 2e + $e if effort = 6e, Reward v 3 = e + 2e + 36 + 6e if effort = i2e, Reward v 4 = e + 2e + $e + 6e + \2e = V but + 1 + 2 v »2 - V 62 +32 T71 »8 - V12V24 »4 units 2 + 52 If bonus for 100% efficiency is 20%, thu
