B. F. Griffith Tell:
S.A.R., Benefits of
Speciol Troining
Benjamin F. Griffith, who Is giv-ing
job Instruction training In war
industries for the War Production
.Board, outlined the work he Is do-}
Amg In a talk to the members of
«the Long Island Chapter, Sons of
the American Revolution Monday
• night at, their monthly dinner In
the Elks club house. Mr. OMB 1th,
*who Is safety engineer and a mem-iDCr
of the American Society of Sa-
*fcty Engineers, was Introduced by
W. Wesley Hill. President J. Ed-win
Clark conducted the meeting.
Mr. GllfTlth said the purpose of
&ne training was to enable men
'employed in defense Industries to
"60 their jobs better, quicker and
.^nore efficiently by proper training.
He added that In many plants even
• old workers required training.
'"He predicted that from* now -on
At woulo\ be necessary to engage
men with less experience than
those who have been available to
dote with the result that tha
training problem would become
more acute than it has been thus
far, He said further that the ob-ject
was to help trained workers
tc make a better use of what they
know.
Good supervision and good in-struction
arc inseparable, he added,
a#good training methods mean less
waste of time. A good supervisor,
he asserted. Is one who gets what
.he wants, when he wants it and
***;=- bezants It, War jobs, Mr.
"GrifMtn^ Insisted must be done
quickly, thoroughly'and conscien-tiously,
and to bring about this
condition, he said workers must
.become Interested in their work.
He declared that If a worker has-i/
t learned his job after receiving
the job instruction training, the
teacher hasn't taught him prop-erly.
