of spirit of cooperation to- take It's
place These were the days when the
well educated man was the man who
could take his place in team work
Things were done these days by
team work. that was, by cooperative
effort. No man tried to stand alone.
Work Like Football Team.
Mr.. Price illustrated his point by
picturing the football field with each
man ready To take his own place and
do his own part on the general move
ments OF the team. He said football
games were not won so much by
stars as by the cooperative move
ments of the team He had known
of team of stars being defeated
by team of mediocre, players. simply
because the mediocres had good team
work and cooperation and the stars
did not u was often announced that
a certain star had carried the bali in
fine play of some sort. and the
fact was frequently overlooked that
he could not do this unless ten men
had worked with him and made II
possible.
The speaker said these were days
when no longer were men thinking
so much of what was done by in
dividuals. each man felt some sense
of responsibility for the movement
of the whole community. in way
that had never been the case before.

soon the rich themselves would be

Professor Price stated that in this
country the division lines of society
divided people into classes but not
into the upper and lower. There was
little idea OF upper crust" in the
way. that that idea existed in Eur
ope. The rich people felt a RESPONSE

They were beginning to feel that
the wealth that they held was i'm 1t.

responsibility.
The professor said he saw one
danger in the vocational training
idea and that was that il might pro-
duce caste feeling. II the same Vo-
cation should exist, age after age, in
the same family, ii was likely To
think il well for others to decide the
life-work for a boy or girl. A man
designed by his father to be a lawyer
might turn out TO be better as II

err intended him for a blacksmith
might better follow the practice OF
law. in some cases.
Professor Price looked with ap
prevail on the general movement for
team work and cooperation, in spite
of the loss of the old feeling of in
dividual independence. He said this
growing characteristic led to higher
and greater achievement II made
men pull together. II made a state

that in time Il would show itself eff
