THE MICHIGAN DAILY Hapgood ites Administration Of HisFactory Conserve Company Head Tells Forum Of Model Care Given Employees "No man has ever been discharged from our factory, no worker has been dismissed during times of depression except for bad conduct, and there have only been 16 or 17 cases of this sort in 15 years" declared William P. Hapgood, president of the Colum- bia Conserve Company, at the forum held in Lane Hall this week on An Experiment in Industrial Democracy. "Our company," saidhMr. Hap- good, "is one in wich the workers determine the policy of the business. In 1917 we started to turn the oper- ation and control of the business over to the workers. They now own 64 per cent of the common stock as an asset of the firm which bought it through the surplus profits that would ordinarily go to the capital- "We take care of our old workers," Mr. Hapgood continued, "and the company maintains a dentist and doctor to take care of its workers." He also explained after the first year the dental care offered little trouble or expense, but that the doc- tor's bill for one person sometimes amounted to as much as $1,500 for a year, all of which is paid by the co- pany. "Giving the workers a share in the business has increased production ef- ficiency to a remarkable degree," said Mr. Hapgood, "and we have not only survived up to now, but intend to sur- vive through the present economic depression w1hout having to bring about any reduction in the number of our workers, for the workers them- selves have declined to benefit them- selves by any proposals to dismiss some of the recently acquired la- borers.' State Official Commends Radio Music Instruction Special commendation was extend- ed to the Broadcasting Service of the University by the advisory council on music of the State Department of Public Instruction, it was announced yesterday. In a letter to Prof. Waldo M. Ab- bot, director of the service, Ada Bick- ing, who is in charge of music edu- cation throughout the state, express- ed the appreciation of the council for the "~music instruction now being rendered to the schools of the state who are not favored with regular music instructors," and made a plea for the continuation of the lessons. The music instruction of the broadcasting service consists, of a program of instruction in the playing of band instruments every Monday afternoon. The series of lessons is conducted by Prof. James E. Maddy, of the division of fine arts, whose lessons are followed by more than 5,000 students throughout the state, according to Professor Abbot. l A total of 546,433 telephones was installed in Sweden at the end of 1931. Schorling Discusses Choosing Of Teachers Full responsibility foi the selection of teachers in local schools should be delegated to the superintendent of schools, who should be made entirely responsible for his choice, according to Prof. Raleigh Schorling of the School of Education, who spoke Sun- day on the subject "What Part Should the Public Play in the Selec- tion of Teachers?" over the facilities of the University Broadcasting Serv- ice on a program broadcast from sta- tion WJR, Detroit. Professor Schorling outlined sev- eral principles which he said are det- rimental to the choice of good teach- ers. The first principle which he at- tacked was the principle of looking at a vacancy on the teaching staff of the local school as a convenient device for giving livelihood to some-, body. "The school should not be re- garded as an instrument of welfare or charity," he said. "The second practice which cuts down the chances of getting the best teacher for the money," said Profes- sor Schorling, "is the tendency to give preference to local candidates. There is a growing sectionalism de- veloping in many communities. Even if we assume that localism in busi- Iness is a desirable practice, it is ob- vious that on educational matters we must learn to co-operate in large units. We dare not built an empire of each small city with a high protec- tive tariff on cultural and educa- tional matters. "The third objectional practice is allowing teachers to underbid each other. In normal times the law of supply and demand for teachers is no doubt the best principle, but un- employed teachers, like others, tend to become panicky. Your community should make up its mind what it is going to pay and then secure the best possible teacher for the money from the open market." COTTON TO REPLACE OPIUM SIANFU, China, Nov. 22.-(R)-!
