SPRINGFIELD.
The experiment in industrial cooperation
now in progress at Springfield, though Of
ten mentioned IN these columns, is Of SO
much interest in many respects that our
readers may wish to hear more of it. A
correspondent of the Burlington Free Press
who has recently visited the place says
| The association commenced work in Aug
gust, 1874. with five members who wanted

and each member having a share in the
profits in proportion to his Investment.
The capital required is $500 from each
man, 800 from each boy, and from each
woman the first S25 earned over expenses.

The wages range for men and boys from
seven to fifteen dollars, and for girls and
women from SIX to seven and q half dollars
a week. Board, including room and wash
ing, furnished the members at four dollars
for males and three dollars for females a
week. Two large, pleasant and comforta-
| BILE buildings, known as the "1ndustrial
Home, are rented by the association, and
have been run at paying profit Of twenty
| five per cent, SO that board comes remark
ably cheap. To give any adequate idea of
advantages and pleasantness of his "home"
would require more space than you could
spare. Suffice il to say that those who
live there enjoy themselves heartily. A
regular course of exercises for the week is
made up and committees appointed to de-
wise means. One evening is devoted to
games, one to mu,ic, another to intellectual
improvements, and so on.
Muslin flags, table mats. wood hoops,
knife boxes, fancy baskets, children's
chairs, and other articles, are being manu-
featured extensively. When the reader is
told that this concern has made since last
December about three-fourths of million
of flags, and that nearly thousand dollars
worth of printers ink is used monthly to
print them, he will have some idea of what
business this association is doing. The
shops are run night and day. The associa-
ton numbers now about fifty-five members,
about half of whom are young ladies, who
can earn more and live better than in most
any other calling in the state, The promis-
ing increase of business will probably result
in enlargement of the buildings this sum-
mer, as the buildings as they now are, ere
about full.
Springfield is very picturesque and pleas
ant town, and boasts of having never gin
mill or loafer. 1t is quite manufactur-
ing place, there being here, besides the
works, cotton and wollen mill, clothes
pin factory, scythe snath factory, two ma
chine shop, toJ f~"tnrv and several
other factories.
