Co-operators' School to be Held at

Co-operators' School to be Held at
the LIVERY phase of cooperative
marketing will be included in the
program of the American Institute of
Cooperation, which will open at Uni
versity Farm June Fl, and continue
for four weeks, offering to co-operat-
ors of the entire United States an
exceptional opportunity for an inten-
sive yet very practical study of their
problems.
The program as already arranged
will be divided into four units, one
for each week. Discussions and stu
dies relating to the cooperative mar
keting of livestock will receive atten-
ton the first week; the marketing of
dairy products, the second week; the
marketing of horticultural and poul-
try products, the third week, and
grain and cotton marketing, the
fourth week.
T. G.. Stitts, marketing specialist of
the Department of Agriculture of the
University of Minnesota, is chairman
of the northwest committee which has
in charge the arrangements for the
institute.

accomplished by the construction of

In addition to the efforts made by
the department towards doing away
with grade crossings at the time of To-
cation of the road, great care is Civ
en- to the design of the finished road
to provide safety in operation of We
hicles.
The Commissioner lays especial en-
phasis on the fact that sharp curves,
blind intersections and narrow bridg-
es cause more accidents with some
times fatal injury to the motorist
than are caused at railroad intersec-
tions. He believes that this is due
largely to the fact that people gen
orally will approach railroad cross
ing with caution while they pay no
particular attention to the Trunk
Highway signs warning them of dang
err.

In view Of the last sentence
one may wonder whether It
would not be cheaper and easier
to ask your parents for recol-
lections of your early childhood
before undertaking so labOrious
and roundabout method OF
finding them out for yourself.
Then IL you tried the method
and it gave contradictory re-
suits you would have a genuine
subject for research In discover

Reference to Freud
One is not surprised in finding
DIR. Farrow referring to Freud in
this matter. He says: The results
obtained by this process OF self
analysis strongly confirm Prof.
Freud's results concerning the
mode OF working of the human
mind, except that they rather sl1g'
gest that Prof. Freud may per-
haps not have given due or pro.
portionate weight to the egotistic
and self-preservative group Of
instincts"
Whether 'self.analysis' is a
proper term for such proceed
ing may be left to scientific
psychology to decide. Analysis
is a word to decided Analysis is
is a word of high degree in
truly scientific circles, and it
describes a conscientious process
of exceedingly critical observa-
ton and reasoning with which
this other process" that amy
body can follow and test" and
that needs no apparatus OF any
kind-only patience, pen and
some paper" appears to have
very little to do.

to be so simple that anybody

down absolutely any and every
thought that occurs to you for
periods of one or two hours at
time and you must continue this
over a number of such periods.
That may not seem so very easy,
after all, but DIR. Farrow offers
