German Schooling.

German schooling has proved antag-
onistic to cooperation, although de-
manding unity of action through mass
obedience, Winthrop Talbot writes In
the Century. 1t has failed to foster
real cooperation, for cooperation Is a
method by which persons of their own
volition and by no compulsion may
work together tremendously. Only
when training and schooling are the
common privilege Of all is that state
of civic development possible which
permits society to become cooperative
in its action. In. other words, So
cialized society becomes more possible
only as all individual members acquire
each the widest vision, and thus the
power to cooperate harmoniously.
