Recently the Scholastic magazine,
which is found in almost every high
school, had a special Consumer Is
sue. Also on March 1, Senator Phil
Nelson of Wisconsiu introduced a
bill in the legislature which provid

should be taught in all high schools
and common schools. While this bill
in itself is not as comprehensive as
it should be (not including consum
er co-operation), yet it shows the
trend ot the people in accepting co-
operation.
