Dr. Blackford reports on No. 3:  “He is easily influenced; too undependable and too lax in discipline to make a good executive.  He has a keen sense of right and wrong, but will take on the color of his surroundings.  If led by an undesirable man, he will be a poor asset, and only a fair one even under good influence.”

Supervisor, on No. 4:  “An active, honest and frank man; a good boss for a small gang of men.  Limited somewhat by lack of education and medium planning ability.”

Dr. Blackford, on No. 4:  “An energetic, active man of only fair intelligence and capability.  He is sympathetic and generous to those he likes, but his strongest quality is a desire to rule.  He will enjoy enforcing laws, rules and regulations, and will do this with a degree of energy and watchfulness which probably results in good work on part of those under him.  He is a fair executive.  Under right influence, might further develop.”

Supervisor reports on No. 5:  “A capable man, secretive and somewhat clannish; is susceptible, however, to other influences and can be developed.  A little quick-tempered in handling help; expects too much at the outset.  This man must be removed from the influence of No. 1 or he will make no progress.”

Dr. Blackford, on No. 5:  “A capable man, secretive in his work; careful, conservative, and conservatively progressive.  He is intelligent and industrious.  He is also ambitious, and has good artistic sense.  He is the type of man that takes pride in doing good work.  He will prefer his work to be perfect and finished rather than faulty.  In disposition he is usually mild, but has a very destructive temper when aroused; so he is probably a little hot-headed with his workers.  He is reserved and secretive, but under encouragement will unfold whatever information he has concerning the work.  Perhaps his most negative point is a lack of courage in his convictions, but with encouragement and proper support, he ought to develop into a good executive.”

Supervisor says, briefly, of No. 6:  “A very loyal, honest and painstaking employee; very sincere and absolutely reliable; lacking somewhat in executive ability to handle a large gang.  Very desirable.”

Dr. Blackford says, more at length, of No. 6:  “Industrious, energetic, watchful, careful, dependable, and conscientious in her work.  She is sympathetic, but exacting with her workers.  She has fair intelligence, is teachable, and will give considerable thought to improving her work.  She is also a good critic and a good judge of values.  If not given too large a department or too great responsibility, she ought to be very valuable in an executive position.”

Supervisor, on No. 7:  “An active, reliable man; a good gang-boss or leader; very susceptible to further training.”
