To avoid stooping, the bricks were placed upan an adjustable table, which rose as the wall rose. The bricklayer was also thought to make only essential movements and to economise energy as much as pos sible; for instance, by raising a brick and a trowel, one in each hand, with the same movement.

The adaptation of tools to work also has an important bearing on the problem. In the case of shovel- ling, for example, a remarkable increase

Fatigue tests are closely related to the sélection of workers for different vocations. It is found that when engaged upon the work for which he is most fitted a man directs his energies along the line of least resistance, developing the minimuin amount of fatigue.

ciation failed to do. What bride could bear the thought of being white woollen in married shawl? The priest is careful notto attribute the scantiness of the wedding gown to immodesty. He prefers to regard low dresses as a sign of poverty. Litle material is used because material costs dear. Whether the priest is truly innocent, or prefers, like Victor Hugo's_im mortal Myriel, to entertain only charitable thoughts, or, again which is more probable is merely tronk, he has at any rate contrived to say in language far more effective than any fulminations what all French priests think of the present fashions.
