520			_aTHIS is a practical handbook for the operating industrial manager. Its purpose is to summarize the factors which arise in applying a welfare programme in a business concern. It is hoped that it will prove of value for reference purposes, but the bulk of the book has been written for straight reading as well. The reader principally in mind has been the works manager of an undertaking employing people numbered in hundreds rather than thousands-a concern which must make a systematic and informed approach towards the subject of employee welfare but may not yet employ a full-time or experienced specialist under this heading. The book should, however, be found useful by executives in larger companies and specialists who might already claim to know most of the "ropes." This suggestion is based on the belief that existing literature on the subject still leaves some gaps. There are a number of all-too-weighty publications which offer philosophic ideas in regard to human affairs in industry. Many of these are regarded as too specific-if not too abstruse !-by the practical industrialist.
