Motion study, as thus used, means a systematic study with the stop-watch of the way in which the time of artisans about their usual work is actually spent. The object is of course to find ways to eliminate such waste of time as is observed, and the results already obtained are very striking and suggestive, and they bid fair to be far-reaching in importance. Mr. Gilbreth will speak from the point of view of a large employer, thus endeavoring to increase the efficiency of his men. The subject is one meriting the attention of anyone interested in efficiency...
...Country Club in the first game of the season yesterday afternoon by a score of 1 to 0. Both teams played poorly, and the one goal made by Paine was accidental. The playing was slow throughout the game except for an occasional fast individual play. The lack of team work was conspicuous, and resulted in neither goal's being seriously threatened; during the whole course of the game Washburn had to make but one stop. The playing of the forwards was too open and scattered, causing Ford at coverpoint to have the puck in his possession more of the time...

The statement of the four major captains on another page, warning their men of probation and other evils, indicates not only a keen interest in the success of their teams but that they have a proper sense of the situation from the standpoint...
...duty of every athlete in College to pay strict attention to his College work and avoid probation. Men who have neglected their work or who are having difficulty in any of their courses should begin now in their review and preparation for the Mid-years. Over-cutting is inexcusable and probation marks are entirely unnecessary. E. P. CURRIER. H. FISH, JR. W. M. RAND. W. R. SEVERANCE...
