Job Matching for Women (1931)

Along with scientific management ideas in the early 20th century came the notion of scientifically matching people to their jobs. This silent film was shown to high school girls to acquaint them with the idea. (Girls leaving school often worked until marriage at that time.) By 1931, there were sound movies but high schools would not have been likely to have sound-capable projectors. The film was made by the Women's Bureau of the U.S. Dept. of Labor.
