PROFESSOR PERSON APPOINTED TO COMMITTEE

Mayor Mitchel's Committee on Unemployment of New York City, of which Judge Cary is chairman and City Chamberlain Bruere is general secretary, has invited Dr. H. S. Person, Director of the Amos Tuck School, to participate in organizing and directing some of the investigations to be undertaken by that committee. This invitation is a recognition of the leadership of the Tuck School, the first school of business administration to show especial interest in employment as a phase of management.

The Committee on Unemployment was recently appointed by Mayor Mitchel to find measures for the relief of the existing serious condition of unemployed in New York. Since its appointment, however, the Committee's conception of its opportunities has grown, and in connection with its work of affording immediate relief are to be undertaken investigations looking forward to permanent improvement in conditions of employment.

The particular phase of the Committee's work with which Mr. Person is to be concerned, is the organization of an association of employment managers, whose purpose will be to study scientific methods of vocational guidance and to conduct experiments in scientific methods of employment. This work will be under the general direction of Mayor Mitchel, an advisory committee of fifteen citizens, and Meyer Bloomfield, Director of the Vocation Bureau of Boston, a leading authority on the problem involved.
