REAL COOPERATION.
THE SUCCESSFUL COLONY OF AGNETA
PARK IN HOLLAND.

ehe Experiment of Practical PhilanthrO-
pist Results Most Happily-Ideal COndi-
lions For an Industrial Co1nmunity-Hss
Grown and Prospered From the Start.
One Of the most striking examples
Of a successful cooperative community
is to be found near Delft, Holland. It
is known as Agneta Park, and it con-
sists of an almost ideal little village, To-
Gated near one of the largest yeast and
spirit disti1ling manufactures to be
found anywhere in Europe. More than
1, 900 persons are employed in this large
concern, but each one, from the hum
b1est to the highest, has a personal in
terest in the business and gets certain
share of the profits. The workmen not
only own the houses which they live in,
but the public parks connected with
them and the public buildings of their
ideal little village. The ownership is
not individual, but communistic. Alto
gether Agneta Park represents an indus
trial paradise which has probably not
an equal in any other country.
The whole scheme is the materialized
ideal of Mr. and Mrs. J. @. Van Mar
ken. Mr.. Van Marker is practical phi
lanthropist Of an unusual type, and his
wife is an able helpmeet. When a young
man, Mr. Van Marker attended &c Sen
eral Engineering academy of Holland
at Delft, and after completing his stud
les there gave evidence of his thought
full and independent spirit by deciding
to master some useful trade. So he went
to Austria and there acquired a thor
ough knowledge of the manufacture of
yeast and the minute details of the in
dustries closely connected with it.
Returning to Holland, he married
and settled down in the quaint old city
of Delft On the outskirts Of the city
was large marsh, and on this site Mr..

ST. PAUL'S PRESIDENT.
Is Seriously Ill With Pulmonary
Trouble at Los Angeles.

Milwaukee, Wis. Feb. 10.-Informa-
ton has been received in this city from
California to the effect that the illness
of Roswell C. Miller, president of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail
road company is more serious than any
of those who are close to him will ad-
nit. Mr.. Miller has been at Los An
geles, Cal, for the benefit of his health
for over month. Colonel William ].
Boyle, city ticket agent for the St.
Paul road is also at Los Angeles with
Mr.. Miller.
The condition of Mr.. Miller has been
considered so serious that it was
deemed advisable to have his wife join
him. Mr.. Miller is said to be suffering
from an aggravated pulmonary affec-
ton.

Van Marker determined to build his
yeast factory. 1t was bleak and poor
1y drained piece of land, but the trans
formation was soon begun. Besides the
yeast factory were erected a spirit dis
tillery, a glue and gelatin factory and
oil works, these being kindred indus
tries.
Thirteen years ago Mr.. Van Marker
purchased a tract of land one mile
square adjoining the factories. Then he
called his workmen together and ex-
planned his cooperative plan to them,
inviting them to join in erecting homes
on the common property plan. They
enthusiastically entered into the prof.
ect. Deeds were made out, and in short
time so cottages, which were models
of neatness and sanitary construction,
were built. Cooperative stores were
opened, and Mr. Van Marker began the
erection of a modest villa for himself.
1t was not long before other employees
wanted cottages in Agneta Park, and
in few years the waste land had been
transformed until it looked like gar
den.
The cottages are all owned by the
community, but are rented by the share
holders at remarkably low figures.
Trees, shrubs and flowers were planted
and beautiful walks laid out. Then
came public buildings of various sorts.
A large hall for public meetings, vari
Gus clubhouses, a gymnasium, a coop
erative restaurant a ballroom, band
stand, a library and other structures
where the employees might find amuse-
ment and instruction were erected.
There are now more than 200 families
living in Agneta Park, and the heads of
all of them are stockholders in the Park
community.
The government of this little COM
monwealth is vested in three elective
councils, and since the scheme has been
in operation there has not been a single
subject of serious disagreement. The
employees are divided into five classes,
the grading being done strictly in ac-
cOrdance with merit. In the meantime
the business of the factories has in
creased wonderfully, and while the
profits are large the men work fewer
hours and get higher wages than others
similarly employed.
There is an intricate and complicated
system of pensions and benefits connect
ed with the organization, with which
the work1nen are fully familiar and
which they heartily appreciate, for they
know that their future welfare is secure
no matter whether they are sick or
we'll There are death, marriage and
! birth benefits, so that any unusual ex-
| pense can be met, and the workmen are
assured that their families will be cared
for whatever happens to them.
The education of the children of the
workmen is most carefully looked after.
! There are kindergarteus and grammar
schools which the boys may attend I'M
til they are IA, and for the next four
years they work half the day and study
the other half. In this ideal community
any young man is given the opportunity
to fit himself for a high position Girls
from the ages Of Is to Is are taught
sewing, darning and mending, and aft
er they are 16 they are advanced to
classes where dressmaking and cooking
are taught. It is hardly necessary to
add that these Agneta Park damsels
make the best wives.
