AMERICAN INSTITUTE
OF COOPERATION MEET
Four Weeks Of Sessions Being
Held at University Farm, st.
Paul. Greeted With Good At
tendance.

The American Institute of Co
operation opened on Monday at
University Farm for four weeks
session including all phases of
cooperative marketing.
During the sessions the first
three days Of this week, more
than lbs cooperators were pres
ent. Among those attending the
school are men from virtually
every section of the United
States, two men from China, a
large group from Canada and one
from Czecho- Slovakia. Before the
Institute closes ON July II, it is
expected the attendance will run
well over 500.
On Monday the program open
ed with actresses of welcome by
L. d. Coffman, president of the
University of Minnesota, w. C..
Coffey, Dean, College of Agri-
culture, University of Minnesota
and A. B. Lathrop, vice president,
Merchants National Bank, St.
Paul.
Following the actresses of vel
come, Richard Pattee, Boston,
Mass, chairman of the American
Institute of Cooperation, ex-
planned the purposes of the CO.
operative marketing school. He
said that the Institute was a ma
tional enterprise incorporated
under the laws of the District
of Columbia and not for profit
and is supported entirely by
voluntary contributions. The
school, he declared, filled a long
felt need in cooperative educa-
ton.
I'm most of the educational in
stitutions of the United States"
he stated, there is growing
recognition that the economics
courses should be expanded and
redirected to meet the needs of
students who expect to become
workers in cooperative business
enterprises. In some of them
splendid beginnings have been
made in special courses which are
offered. But in no single insti-
tuition can one find a comprehen-
sive course blending the necessary
information to give the student
cultural background and also
prepare him to meet the prac-
teal emergencies which are daily
occurrences in the lives of coop
erative leaders. 1t is to fill these
emergencies that the Institute
of Cooperation was formed"

formerly chief of the Agricul-
tural Economics Division of the

WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page u

front. When the Congress adj
journs within few days these
matters will continue to occupy
the limelight because of the con-
gressional campaigns.
1t may seem strange to the
average citizen to learn that the
Presidents of the U. S. are inter-
ested in publicity. Some hard
ened observers devoid of partisan
sentiment, say that Chief Execu-
tives frequently and deliberately
stage publicity stunts. Theodore
Roosevelt was particularly noted
for his methods of keeping on
page one and his name constantly
before the American public. News
paper correspondents say that
President Coolidge is becoming
very talkative in his press inter-
views, in discussing at length sub
jects which he ordinarily would
dismiss in a few words.
Some comment has been made
upon the fact that he paid a sur
prise visit to the Veterans Bureau
the other day, presumably for the
purpose of reviewing charts. Ac-
cording to local writer's these
charts were available in a
brouchere which the Bureau had
published. but the visit of the
President attracted some atten-
ton. It is said that the President
reads the papers every day, and
his time is conserved by having
certain portions marked for his
attention. The President realizes
that it is necessary to keep the,
minds of the general public tho
roughly informed in the matters
affecting his administration, and
it is here that the mythical indi-
vidual known as the White House
spokesman" plays his part in.
newspaper dispatches from Wash
ington.
Considerable speculation exists
as to the part President Coolidge
will play in the struggle for con-
troll of the Senate and House.
It is said that he viii not par
ticipate directly in the primaries.
At the same time he. is desirious
that the administration control
a working majority of the Senate
and House.
