The next section of paychology that Bir. Smith touched on was psychology as applied to machines. The tectarer then went on to refer to a third type, that of vocational psychology. In this section he pointed out how important it was that the right people should be selected for the right jobs and the right jobs for the right people. It was most important that employers should study their employees and put the workman best suited to a particular job at that task.
