Mr. Ford

Young men, thought wise old Henry Ford, sometimes see things their elders miss. Therefore an arrangement was made last week with Yale University. Mr. Ford will give 50 students jobs making automobiles, $5 per day. They will have to earn their pay, but the manufacturing of automobiles out of uncertain materials will not, said Ford, be their first consideration. They will really be paid to study industrial conditions, the relationship of Ford to Labor, so that, at the end of their apprenticeship, they may submit elaborate reports of their findings to the Ford Industrial Research Bureau. For the best report, there is promised a "handsome prize." "What is meant by handsome?" asked Yale students warily, seeing in vision four lean wheels, an impertinent bonnet, an upholstered rattle.
