German Schooling.

German schooling has proved antagonistic to co-operation, although demanding unity of action through mass obedience, Winthrop Talbot writes in the Century. It has failed to foster real co-operation, for co-operation is a method by which persons of their own volition and by no compulsion may work together harmoniously. Only when training and schooling are the common privilege of all is that state of civic development possible which permits society to become co-operative in its action. In other words, a socialized society becomes more possible only as all individual members acquire each the widest vision, and thus.the power to co-operate harmoniously.
