Personnel research federation

The Personnel research federation organized a year ago under the auspices of the Engineering Foundation and the National Research Council to coordinate the efforts of the 250 scientific, engineering, labor, management and educational bodies which are studying personnel problems in the United States today, reports a year full of progress. The primary object of the organization, to act as a clearing-house of information for the various agencies carrying on investigations in personnel work, and to bring these agencies together for interchange of ideas, so that they might be of mutual benefit to one another, and avoid duplication of effort, was greatly furthered by a survey of the existing agencies, describing their scope, methods and activities, made by J. David Thompson, and issued as a bulletin of the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
