Yet there is but little doubt, if any intelligent reader of this paper were deliberately to THE PRINCIPLES OP SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT 65 set out to find what may be called the foundation of the science of shoveling, that with perhaps 15 to 20 hours of thought and analysis he would be almost sure to have arrived at the essence of this science. On the other hand, so completely are the rule-of-thumb ideas still dominant that the writer has never met a single shovel contractor to whom it had ever eve...n occurred that there was such a thing as the science of shoveUng. This science is so elementary as to be almost self-evident. For a first-class shoveler there is a given shovel load at which he wiU do his biggest day's work. What is this shovel load? Will a first-class man do more work per day with a shovel load of 5 pounds, 10 pounds, 15 pounds, 20, 25, 30, or 40 pounds? Now this is a question which can be answered only through carefully made experiments. By first select- ing two or three first-class shovelers, and pajdng them extra wages for doing trustworthy work, and then gradually varying the shovel load and having all the conditions accompanying the work carefully observed for several weeks by men who were used to experimenting, it was found that a first-class man would do his biggest day's work with a shovel load of about 21 pounds.
