Robert owen, the founder of New
Harmony and grandfather OF my iei-
I W-passenger, Mr.. Julian Dale owen,
/ was born IN Wales about the year IIsO.
I In Scotland he sought a more extensive
/ field than Wales could supply for ms
/ practical m,nd and ldhOrlOu, hands, and
/ he was not disappointed, for Bonnie
I Scotland i the land Oi industry, ever
giving fair play to the capital or labor
| which strives 10 push ahead and do us
/ whole duty honestly and impSrllally
/ Tor the greatest good ana Tor the
/ greatest number.
| Cotton yarn was the line Of Mr..
! Owens enterprise, and as a manufac-
| turer OF this important branch OF indus
| try he made his mark and eventually
/ his fortune.
Robert Owen was not Onlya merchant,
! but ne was also philanthrOpist; rs IN
/ employer OF labor he ever realized he
| had something more 10 do with his en-
/ plOyes than merely 10 get hack then
/ labor a a return for wages gwen. lie
/ thought of them in their homes As well
as III his shops; their domestic comfort
/ and intellectual Improvement gave ham
IS much concern as hIs own results OF
profit and loss; hence Il characteristic
/ OF Mr.. Owens business was this: When
ever he built factory he also erected q
I school; with him the education OF the
child was As essentially 10 be provided
( for as labor for the man. Was he mis-
taken in this two-fOld duty? Let Us re-
/ member that IN Robert Ovens day
there was not in Scotland that national
/ educational system which Is now the
/ glory and privilege of every part OF the
/ United Kingdom little short, If any OF
! your own American systcml; hence II
was that tins WclShman, labOring IN
I Scotland, was now laying for the British
( IslCs and Colonies a foundation of na.
( tIoual education, upon which have been
/ firmly erected the schools, colleges and
/ universities, which are the truc>t evi
/ dCnceS OF afrec and enlightened people
Cooperation was another character
/ site OF Robert Owens business PIN
/ lOsOphy. In this, rs IN education, ht
was far ahead of his day and genera
+ ton, but his thought of such a pr!n-
/ ciple and practical working of it IN
/ his own business, presents the true
/ greatness OF the man, his pure honesty,
/ and fearless decision TO DO what was
/ right, Irrespective OF time and plac,
I and people. Cooperation IN business
/ is the same IN principle as farming on
I shares. such a principle Is fair, reason
able, equitable and has in 1t al i'm
petus To work induStrlOusly that We
may reap successfully, which Is as
much 90 tine advantage of one rs e.
+ another when the relative values of
+ Capital and Labor have been proper
