Summary	Wise management provides working conditions that will reduce fatigue to a minimum and keep workers as close as possible to peak production throughout the day. Adequate seating is one of the conditions that a wise management will provide. Constant standing is a spendthrift of energy. Lack of seats or uncomfortable seating impairs production. It has been proved time and again that much of the burden of fatigue depends on the posture of the worker. Not only do waste [d] effort and increased spoilage result from excessive standing or improper seats, but tired workers are more likely to have accidents. Even with today's restrictions on the use of metal, suitable seats, largely of wood, can be provided.--p. 1.
