...lectures last term, the only way of averting them is by the education of the masses on this question. But how can men be enlightened unless there are those competent to instruct the great body of laborers who are, as a rule, utterly ignorant of the simplest economic principles? The smattering of knowledge which men acquire by studying one or two courses in the theory of political economy will avail nothing. What is needed at this college is a course in the theory and history of co-operation. For it is co-operation which is the most striking phase...

The fingers should not be wet to turn the leaves, nor should the corners be turned down to mark the place. These tend to make dog ears. Rather mark the place with some bookmark. The simplest, and one of the best, is a card as large as a small visiting card. By cutting this twice longitudinally from one end almost to the other, you will have a three-legged book-mark which rides a-straddle on the page, one leg on the page below...
