A BROADENING OF THE DEFINITIONS.—­In order to understand more plainly the complexity of this relation, we will not confine ourselves here to the narrower definition of a record as a written account, but will consider it to mean a registering of an experience in the mind, whether this expresses itself in a written record or not, A programme will, likewise, be a mental plan.

MANY POSSIBLE TYPES OF RECORDS AND PROGRAMMES.—­In order to understand the number of different types of records and programmes that can be made for a worker, the table that follows may be examined (Table I).  It exemplifies twelve possible records and twelve possible programmes.

INTERRELATION OF THESE TYPES.—­The man is classified first, as working for himself, or working for another.  There will usually be a fundamental difference, at the outset, in the minds of these two men, for the man working for himself will be of a more independent cast of thought.  There will be no question as to the man’s output showing up separately,
